“…Efforts have also been made to develop sets of values specifically related to food choices, for example, the Food Choice Questionnaire developed by Steptoe, Pollard, and Wardle (1995), the Eating Motivation Survey developed by Renner, Sproesser, Strohbach, and Schupp (2012), and the measure of Food Choice Values developed by Lyerly and Reeve (2015). The most prominent effort in this direction came from Lusk and Briggeman (2009) who identified a comprehensive set of food-specific values that motivate food choices.…”

Agricultural applications of nanotechnology are at a relatively early stage and little is known about consumer responses to the technology. Canadian consumer responses to food nanotechnology are examined through the lens of the Food Value Scale. Data from a survey of Canadian consumers are used to evaluate the relative importance of eleven food values to food purchase decisions. We find that taste, safety, nutrition, and price are among the most important food values to Canadians, however, consumers exhibit considerable heterogeneity with respect to the priority placed on these values. A discrete choice experiment (DCE) explores the effect of food values on choice behavior. The DCE is positioned as a sliced apple product with non‐browning and antioxidant‐enhanced features introduced through the use of nanocoating or a conventional coating method. Random parameters logit (RPL) and latent class models (LCM) confirm the existence of significant preference heterogeneity. The LCM identifies three classes of consumers: “supporters,” “doubters,” and “opponents” who differ in their reaction to nanotechnology and in the relative importance placed on food values such as naturalness, novelty, and convenience. The analysis shows that food values provide additional insights into consumers’ food choices and their attitudes toward novel food technologies.

“…Understanding why people choose to consume certain food items in specific eating occasions is beneficial for improving people’s lives by giving dietary advice to prevent health issues such as obesity and eating disorders. Moreover, understanding motivations for eating various food categories can help facilitate new food product development and better understand marketing of these new products [ 2 , 3 ]. Everyday food choice depends on several factors including biology (e.g., hunger, appetite), sociology (e.g., culture, social status), physiology (e.g., mood, stress), economics (e.g., availability, budget), marketing (e.g., advertising, distribution), and consumer science (e.g., attitudes, risk perception) [ 1 ].…”

Several studies in different countries have been conducted to investigate factors affecting food choices. The objective of this study was to understand the motivations of specific food and beverage choices for different eating occasions in a typical diet of the Turkish people. A convenience sample of 141 respondents from seven different geographical regions in Turkey completed an online survey questionnaire that included questions about demographic information and details about their latest eating occasion. Respondents reported all of their motivations for choosing each food/beverage item reported for that specific eating occasion. Results indicated that different motivations played different roles in food choices of people in Turkey. Liking was a key characteristic for all eating occasions, but key natural concerns were even more important at breakfast, and need and hunger were more important for a mid-afternoon snack. Lunch involved additional motivations such as Sociability, Variety Seeking, and Social Norms. In addition to Liking, choices of different food groups were also driven by other motivations such as Habits, Convenience, Need and Hunger, Natural Concerns, and Health. This study helped better understand the current dietary patterns of Turkish people as well as the motives underlying their choices of foods and beverages for different meals and snacks. These findings could be useful for dietary campaigns that aim to improve eating behaviors in Turkey.

“…Thus, populations in higher income neighborhoods are more likely to find fruits (Table ) but at higher prices than are found in lower income areas. Higher prices for some food items among not‐low income areas could be explained by a stronger demand for these items among low‐income groups, or by the presence of fewer groceries, and thus less competition, in these neighborhoods (Lyerly & Reeve, ; Woo et al, ).…”

“…It might be the case that stores do not offer certain products because these items are not requested by consumers (as was stated by the owner of one convenience store in our study). Recognizing consumers' patterns and preferences requires other types of surveys not completed here (see Lyerly & Reeve, , and Moore et al, ). In addition, we did not analyze the operational costs and market structure in which the surveyed stores operate.…”

Availability of affordable healthy food in Hillsborough County, Florida

Prior research has indicated that low‐income neighborhoods in urban regions throughout the United States have limited access to healthy food, which partly explains the prevalence of diet‐related diseases. Our study provides new evidence on the relationship between access, prices of healthy food, and key demographic factors in Hillsborough County, Florida. The research team completed 65 surveys of grocery and convenience stores regarding availability and prices of 11 food items included in the Nutrition Environment Measures Survey in Stores (NEMS‐S). Results from the regression analysis indicate that affordable healthy food is more likely to be found in grocery stores than in convenience stores. There is no significant evidence, however, that low‐income neighborhoods have less access to healthy food than the not‐low‐income ones. We also observe significant price differences among types of stores but not in grocery‐to‐convenience store ratios among income groups, suggesting that low‐income families are not exposed to higher food prices.
