Eating out has become the cornerstone of the British date night- as has eating in when joint accounts are lacking. So we take a closer look at couples and how they negotiate their food habits and preferences.
Tenderstem has found that 55% of people eat better because their partner does, with 39% of women being encouraged to try new things by their partner. So does that mean that we naturally fall into the eating habits of our partners?
Although it's a positive that a partner is encouraging their loved to one put better things in their body- it was revealed that 67% still don't know what constitutes the recommended portion size for one of their five a day.
42% of women worry that their partner does not get their five a day and is therefore lacking in their key nutrients because they are not making a conscious effort to count them. Only a quarter of men however have this concern for their partners.
The Tenderstem team went onto the streets and spoke to couples about their persuasive eating, who cooks and who books.
