People have different perceptions about different stuff. Research show that people believe the healthier food is, the more costly and expensive it will be. But it's not always like that, sometimes, good things come in smaller packages.
A psychologist, Reczek studies the way people make choices and think about stuff. Apprehensive why people choose junk food over other stuff, even if its one of the main causes of overweighting.
According to CBS News, people say that the only reason they do this is because according to them, healthy food will not be very friendly regarding taste. Reczek and her clients think this can't be the only reason there might be some other reasons people choose junk food; Reczek knew that it had something to do with cost as well.
Reczek with her clients arranged an experiment to test this. The experiment included 884 students as well as adults. For the first experiment, they presented Granola Bars and told people it would be rated with an A or C. 1 group who was told that it was rated A, thought it to be more expensive.
But the second group who was told that it was rated C, stated that it would not be very much expensive. In the 2nd experiment, people were told about two breakfast crackers. They were identical, but one was more expensive than the other, people thought it to be more healthy.
Three more experiments like this were taken place which cleared the confusion in the group's mind. As Global Headlines also explained, these five experiments gave the result that people have this concept that healthy food is expensive.
The experiments had nothing to do with people and their way of thinking but the relationship between these 2 was to be known. Using the price tag just to know how healthy food is, is wrong. If someone is saving, then they still can eat healthy and foods better for health.
