(14,549 posts)I think part of your OP assumes that people are not making efforts to eat healthier but statistic don't show that:
The consumption of soda is declining steadily and is now lower than it was in the year 1980.
75%+ consumer report buying at least one organic food product in the last 60 days.
Working-age adults consumed an average of 118 fewer calories a day in the 2009-10 period than four years earlier. -USDA
Sales of cereal are way down.
The drivers appear to be:
- bad economy triggered less eating of fast food and restaurant meals
- more information for consumers on calories and options
- more emphasis on cooking and the quality of food
- more healthy options with the expansion of farmers markets, local food, and backyard gardens
