Show summary

Support Studies reveal that most people select the foods they eat primarily on the basis of flavor, and that nutrition is usually a secondary concern at best. ████ ████████ ████ ██████ ███████ █████ ████ ████ ███████ ██ ███████████ ██████ ██ ███ █████████ █████ ██ ████ ██████████ ███ █████████ █████ █████ █████ ███ ██████ ████ ███ ██████████ ████ ████

Summarize Argument

The author concludes that health experts would be more successful at getting people to eat wholesome foods if they emphasized flavor over nutrition. This is based on studies showing that people generally choose what they eat based on flavor rather than nutrition.

Notable Assumptions

The author assumes that wholesome foods taste at least good enough that emphasizing their flavor would lead to people eating them more often. If wholesome foods don't taste good, and generally taste worse than less nutritious foods, then emphasizing their flavor might be a less effective strategy than emphasizing their nutritional value.
