Czech citizens most often eat three (44%) or four (29%) meals a day.
Men are more likely to eat three meals a day (50% of men, 39% of women), while women are slightly more likely to eat four meals a day (24% of men, 32% of women). In terms of age, we then see that the proportion of people who regularly consume 3 meals a day also increases with age.
By far the most common meals people (themselves or someone in their household) prepare at home are breakfast and dinner, with around two thirds of people (66% breakfast, 69% dinner) preparing them 6 to 7 times a week. As for lunches, more than half of people (52%) prepare these at home 6 to 7 times a week.
The vast majority of people (97%) usually have dinner at home in a typical week, 70% have breakfast and the least often people have lunch at home (50%).

In the research Potraviny 2025, CVVM SOÚ AV ČR surveyed the opinions and attitudes of the Czech public towards food shopping, packaging materials and preferences regarding shopping. In this part of the research, we focused on shopping behaviour with respect to the environment, shopping with or without packaging or how relevant it is for Czech citizens to consider the environmental impact of food production

In the Potraviny (Food) 2025 survey, the CVVM SOÚ AV ČR surveyed the opinions and attitudes of the Czech public towards food shopping. Respondents reported what activities and shopping habits their households have, how much they spend on food per month, and according to what criteria and where they shop. In the next part of the research we focused on shopping behaviour that may contribute to or prevent food waste.

More than half of the Czech public (56%) consider food waste to be a major problem, more than two-fifths (41%) think food waste is not right but there are more urgent issues that need to be solved, and only 2% of Czech citizens do not consider food waste to be a society-wide problem.
Almost two thirds (65%) of citizens declare that the total amount of food wasted by their households does not exceed 10%. A fifth (20%) of respondents lean towards the option that their household throws away more than 10% but less than a quarter of the food. Only 3% of respondents admitted to throwing away more than a quarter but less than half of their food. Conversely, 12% of the public say that their household does not throw away any food.

The Czech public overwhelmingly (89%) agrees that the sovereignty of the state must be defended at all costs. Despite this, almost two-thirds (63%) of respondents doubt the Czech Republic's ability to defend itself if something were to happen. Just under half (47%) of respondents do not consider the defence of the Czech Republic to be essential because we are a small country whose fate is equally in the hands of the superpowers, but a comparable proportion of citizens think the opposite. Two-fifths of respondents (40%) think that our army is on a comparable level with the armies of Western countries, but a comparable proportion thinks that defence spending is just an unnecessary burden on the budget (39%). For these two statements, disagreement outweighs agreement, and is expressed by about half of the respondents.
Almost two-fifths (39%) of respondents are "definitely satisfied" with the Czech Republic's membership in NATO, and another almost two-fifths (37%) are "somewhat satisfied". Approximately one-seventh (13%) of respondents said they were dissatisfied with the fact that the Czech Republic is a NATO member.

The evaluation of the current situation in the world in terms of international relations (55% of responses rather+very bad), economy (44%), security (54%), conflict resolution (71%) or dealing with global environmental problems (53%) is mostly negative.
More than three-quarters of respondents (76%) said they felt some concern. Concerns about war are the most common: 38% of respondents ranked it first. Russia is perceived as a real security threat by respondents (63% of all answers). The USA (20%), China (19%) and Ukraine (7%) were next.

In a survey conducted in the second half of March 2025, the Center for Public Opinion Research asked a set of questions about the concerning the assessment of the material living conditions of their households, their expectations of the development of these conditions in the current year, as well as the financial and material situation of their households.

In a panel survey conducted in the second half of March 2025, The Public Opinion Research Centre included a block of questions related to the current political situation in the USA. Respondents were further asked to evaluate the performance of the current US President Donald Trump and his political advisor Elon Musk. We also examined how Czechs feel about the US foreign policy and how they perceive the Czech Republic's diplomatic relations with selected countries - whether they are an ally, a necessary partner, or an adversary for our republic.

In a survey conducted in the second half of March 2025, the Center for Public Opinion Research asked a set of questions about the conflict in Ukraine. The survey asked whether and to what extent the Czech public considers the situation in Ukraine to be a security threat to the Czech Republic, Europe and world peace, how the Czech public perceives the Czech government's actions towards Ukraine, which of the two scenarios for ending the conflict in Ukraine would be more acceptable from their point of view, and how they see possible measures by the international community.

The greatest satisfaction is with the offer of goods and services (seven out of ten respondents). In second place is the area of culture (six out of ten respondents), in third place is the transport service with a comparable result. The greatest dissatisfaction is with the level of corruption (65%), followed by the state of public finances (63%) and the political situation in the Czech Republic (63%).
For six areas surveyed, satisfaction exceeds dissatisfaction by more than 20 percentage points: supply of goods and services, culture, transport services, science and research, respect for human rights, and health care. On the other hand, for seven items dissatisfaction prevails by 20 or more percentage points over satisfaction: corruption, the state of public finances, the political situation in the Czech Republic, economic crime, the general mood in society, immigration, the functioning of the economy.
