Poor diets and rising obesity rates among Americans have persisted despite increased awareness and publicity regarding the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. This analysis of consumer food choice developed a consumer demand model to illustrate how both longterm health objectives and immediate visceral influences ¿ long intervals between meals and away-from-home eating ¿ can affect individuals¿ food choices. The model predicts that dietary knowledge will have less influence on food choices in the face of immediate visceral factors. Longer intervals between meals and consumpti

In doing so, it shows that while complex workarounds are possible, but that they are significantly less effective than the appropriate policy and regulatory reforms.The key features of the volume are: - It examines how theoretically optimal concepts a
