Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Healthy eating: The mind games of supermarkets
Here are some tips for healthier grocery shopping. Divide your shopping cart or bag in two, one for healthier produce such as vegetables, fruits, dairy and meat and the other for others. Then you are likely to buy more vegetables and fruits than usual. The same seems to be true when you are reminded healthier food options before shopping. But once you get into the supermarket, you’ll find more unhealthier but attracting food products than healthier options in the sweet spot, usually at eye levels of the target demography, such as snacks for kids and premier chocolates for adults.
So, if the supermarket decides to promote better food options to the shoppers, there are many tricks they can make, instead of the products they can easily attract their shoppers at all income levels.
Enjoy reading and learning about psychological tricks of food merchandising.
