Although encouraging people to eat more nutritiously can promote better
health, most efforts by companies, health professionals, and even
parents are disappointingly ineffective. Brian Wansink's Marketing
Nutrition focuses on why people eat the foods they do, and what can be
done to improve their nutrition. Wansink argues that the true challenge
in marketing nutrition lies in leveraging new tools of consumer
psychology (which he specifically demonstrates) and by applying lessons
from other products' failures and successes. The key problem with
marketing nutrition remains, after all, marketing.
