Research Proves It

What we already know. People do not eat to live, they live to eat. Personal preference (taste) is their first priority, whether it provides the nutrition their body needs to live comes in at a distant third place. In between is the commodity valued higher than health, the almighty dollar, price.

As the survey found, whether or not food is healthy is not the top priority among Americans when it comes to buying food. What is? For 88 percent of Americans, taste, and for another 72 percent, price. Only then does the health factor come in. Yes, the health aspect of the diet choice placed a distant third for most people.
