Including Healthy Options on the Menu May Not be Working

April 15th, 2009

In one study, college students were given one of two menus. One menu featured French fries, chicken nuggets and a baked potato; the other included those same items as well as a salad. The French fries, widely perceived as the least healthful option, were three times as popular with students selecting from the menu that had the salad as they were with the other group. -NY Times

MY COMMENT: Ok, let me get this straight- students that select food items perceived as healthy feel justifed to also eat more less healthy foods?
