The most reasonable choice for generalizing the result of this observational study is:

**consumers in Texas**

This is because the study is based on feedback collected from food shows around the state of Texas, so the results would be most applicable to this geographic and demographic group. Generalizing to consumers in the entire country or internationally may not be accurate, as preferences and behaviors can vary significantly in different regions.
