“…There is growing support in the public health community for policy, system and environmental changes that promote healthy eating (30)(31)(32) . The goal of policy, system and environmental change is to alter the built environment by decreasing costs and barriers associated with healthy choices.…”

“…Because environmental factors have been found to be important determinants of food consumption (Sobal & Wansink, 2007), the physical location where people buy and/or eat their food seems a good location to attempt to change food choices (Glanz & Yaroch, 2004).…”

“…One particularly promising environmental health-promoting strategy consists of providing information on healthy choices at the point-of-purchase (Glanz & Yaroch, 2004). Indeed, the results of a study by Dumanovsky et al (2011) suggest that adding calorie labels to menu items in fast food restaurants reduces the energy content of purchases.…”

The present study investigated the persuasiveness of gain-and loss-framed information recommending healthier choices in fast-food restaurants. Visitors of two fast-food restaurants (N = 235) filled in a questionnaire concerning their fast food choices and received gain-or loss-framed nutrition information. The data revealed that gain-and loss-framed nutrition information were not differently persuasive, but that participants' self-efficacy to choose healthy products influenced the effect of framing. Specifically, for participants high in selfefficacy, the gain-framed message resulted in more positive attitudes towards healthy eating and stronger healthy eating intentions than the loss-framed message. However, for participants low in self-efficacy, the loss framed message resulted in stronger intentions than the gain-framed message. The study thus provides evidence for the role of self-efficacy as a potential moderator of the effects of framed nutrition information in a field setting.

“…For example, some focus on individuals, such as changing their beliefs and knowledge (Ammerman et al, 2002), while others attempt to alter the environment (e.g. increased availability of plant foods) (Glanz and Hoelscher, 2004;Glanz and Yaroch, 2004). Basing such strategies on theoretical behavioural models, such as the stages of change (transtheoretical) model of behavioural change, can increase their effectiveness (Ammerman et al, 2002).…”

Consumers' readiness to eat a plant-based diet

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine consumers' readiness to change to a plant-based diet. Design: Mail survey that included questions on readiness to change, eating habits and perceived benefits and barriers to the consumption of a plant-based diet. Setting: Victoria, Australia. Subjects: A total of 415 randomly selected adults. Results: In terms of their readiness to eat a plant-based diet, the majority (58%) of participants were in the precontemplation stage of change, while 14% were in contemplation/preparation, and 28% in action/maintenance. Those in the action/ maintenance stage ate more fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole-meal bread, and cooked cereals than those in earlier stages. There were statistically significant differences in age and vegetarian status between the stages of change, but not for other demographic variables. There were strong differences across the stages of change with regard to perceived benefits and barriers to plant-based diets. For example, those in action/maintenance scored highest for benefit factors associated with well-being, weight, health, convenience and finances, whereas those in the precontemplation stage did not recognise such benefits. Conclusions: These findings can be utilised to help provide appropriate nutrition education and advertising, targeted at specific stages of change. For example, education about how it is possible to obtain iron and protein from a plant-based diet and on the benefits of change, in addition to tips on how to make a gradual, easy transition to a plant-based diet, could help progress precontemplators to later stages.
