ABSTRACT
This article endeavors to identify a number of widespread beliefs currently shared by Polish people in relation to food and health, and to present these viewpoints within the context of various lifestyle changes that have been taking place since the political and economic transition in Poland started. The research, based on a survey conducted on a group of selected participants from Poland, took place in July, 2015. It focused on the participants' attitudes and beliefs concerning the kinds of food they considered healthy or unhealthy, as well focusing on their perception of the linkages between healthy eating, and being able to maintain a level of physically self-satisfying appearance. To broaden the scope of analyzes, one of the most interesting findings of the study refers to the results of two other recent nationwide surveys: the survey of dieting and eating habits of the Polish, as conducted by the Public Opinion Research Center (CBOS), and the study of changing eating habits of the Polish people conducted by Doma艅ski et al. in 2013.
