Despite a recent trend toward healthy eating behaviors, many consumers still tend to over-consume unhealthy foods because of two facts that work in combination.Unhealthy is widely associated with being tasty, and taste is the main driver of food decisions.

Overall, a holistic approach is urgently needed to find mutually beneficial strategies to combat the world's alarming obesity epidemic Jan 24, 2015
