Now, listen to Part One of the interview.
M: Food deserts, or communities where grocery stores are few and far between, may be linked to unhealthy eating and obesity. But would supplying neighborhoods with healthy options actually stop unhealthy eating and slim down the populace? Science news writer Jennifer Couzin-Frankel examined the research designed to answer this question. I will talk with her about projects in several major cities in the U. S.
W:(1)So this is an article that is about improving access to healthy foods among mostly underprivileged neighborhoods that currently lack that access. They may not have grocery stores that offer fresh produce or other healthy options like low-fat dairy and so on. And it’s about trying to change that, in the hope of changing eating habits and eventually changing obesity rate.
M: Now what are some incentives being implemented to promote visits to food markets already?
W: There have been a number of things that people are trying.(2)So in a couple cities, in New York and Philadelphia right now, residents who spend $5 worth of food stamps at a farmer’s market get an additional $2 that they can spend there on fruits and vegetables.(3)There are a number of researchers, foundations, local officials, who are trying to offer more produce, in particular, and other healthy foods in small markets, in supermarkets, at areas around the country, both urban and rural areas.
M: So what are some of the efforts to get people to buy healthier foods? Are there any simple, cheap strategies that stores can use on a more local level to encourage this behavior?
W: Yeah.(4)So there are lots of things that different people are trying to get people to really change their eating habits, which is at the key of all of this. One is to really think about the community where the store sits, and to focus efforts on that cornmunity. So there may be certain foods that people in that community are more likely to cook with, depending on their background and, you know, what they’re accustomed to. So stores might focus on, you know, certain produce over other produce that will draw in customers.
M: And...
W:(5)And they might also do some very simple things, like changing product displays. We don’t think about it so much, but, for example, if you’re walking down a cereal aisle, your eyes may be drawn to the boxes that are at eye level, not the ones that are nearer your feet. And so if you flip those around—maybe the Cheerios are your feet, you move them up to eye level—people might be more likely to see those, or to see healthier cereals, as opposed to ones that are considered less healthy. You can swap around where the milk might go and put the skim milk in a more visible location, or one that you run into before you hit the whole milk.
