NUTRITION INFORMATION AND HOUSEHOLD DIETARY FAT INTAKE

Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 1994, vol. 19, issue 2, 17

Abstract: An endogenous switching regression model is used to examine how meal planner health knowledge affects dietary fat intake. Ethnicity, income, meal planner age, being on a low-fat diet, and other health awareness behaviors had significant effects on health knowledge. After controlling for differences in household and meal planner characteristics, intake of total and saturated fat was found to depend on health knowledge status.
