A simple way to improve your diet?
Really nice basic behavioral research study showing that posting simple messages within eyeshot (e.g., on menus, doors of businesses, menu boards) can positively change eating behaviors.
Interesting summary from Science Daily:
This technique has great potential as an intervention to help weight control — it is unobtrusive, easy to implement and low in cost making it attractive to policy makers.
(Oh, how I wish policy makers paid attention to research findings…) In the meantime, the dissemination question is how to develop priming messages that influence eating behaviors and appeal to business owners. Figure out how to shift eating behaviors to more healthful, higher margin foods and you may have something.
