Abstract: This study's objective is to explicitly assume that time pressures and perceived hunger lead to greater demand for convenience. In turn, this leads to an increased consumption of fat. As such, estimated demand will be a function of prices, income, time constraints, health information, sensitivity to time delay and the convenience of the meal.
