Do Poor People Ignore the Government’s Dietary Advice Because They Can’t Afford Healthy Food?
17th May 2012
Apprently not. It would seem that poor people eat energy-dense non-SWPL foods because they taste good, which makes perfect biological sense.
Obviously, not all shoppers are trying to minimize calories, but that doesn’t mean they are trying to maximize them. Different consumers have different values, tastes, and preferences, and some would rather eat the calorie-dense foods they enjoy than forgo that pleasure for the sake of better health in the long run. Is that really so hard to comprehend?
Only by people who think that they are the Burger King, and would rather that you have it their way.
