About This Quiz

It's true. We live in a society that is obsessed with food. Everywhere you turn there are TV commercials touting snack food items, upscale restaurants, fast-food chains, the latest kitchen gadgets, new travel/cooking shows, cooking competitions and more. Then there's the nutritional and diet-crazed part of our society that has restrictions on what, where, when and how to eat. So, where do you fall in this food-focused spectrum? From fitness zealots to comfort food enthusiasts and gourmands, you should take this quiz and definitively find out. 

But not to worry, this quiz is very general in nature. It won't reveal if you are a closet eater, or can't say no to red meat or sweets. But it can tell you the food personality that suits you best. Simply answer a series of questions about your likes and dislikes, your adventurous or conservative tastes and your social interactions with food. Your answers will put you into a category that is large enough that you can identify others like yourself and choose the perfect person to take on your next dining adventure. Go on, take the quiz and find out if you're a health nut or simply nuts about food.
