The “healthy = sustainable” heuristic: Do meal or individual characteristics affect the association between perceived sustainability and healthiness of meals?

Author summary Eating healthy and sustainable diets is a major challenge of our time; important but often not achieved. In the present study, we investigate the perceived sustainability and healthiness of foods, an important factor in choosing sustainable and healthy diets. In a real-world canteen setting, we asked consumers to rate the sustainability and healthiness of their consumed meals. Results show that respondents seem to rely on a “healthy = sustainable” heuristic. Specifically, if respondents perceived a meal as healthier, they also perceived it as more sustainable. This association was comparable between meals that had highly similar actual environmental sustainability and healthiness scores and meals that had very dissimilar actual scores. These results imply that it might be necessary to provide consumers with information regarding both the environmental sustainability and healthiness of foods to underline that these two dimensions can differ. Thus, one way forward might be the introduction of a sustainability label on foods, next to a healthiness label which already has been implemented in many countries.

Some #socialworkers really need a #realitycheck .

“What positive thing can you take from the fact that you are #food #insecure and face the possibility of #homelessness and lack the means to properly #care for yourself?”

In theory that might have value. But facing those problems in actual reality is certainly not a “kumbaya” or “just reframe your thinking” kinda moment. I mean, it could be worse, but should the #aspiration really only be “It could be worse than what I suffer right now”?

And it actually insults the people who #suffer under those circumstances because it suggests that those people could be better off, if they only #perceived those issues differently.

When they tell you who they are, and what they are going to do, believe them!
