Abstract

An endogenous switching regression model is used to estimate the effect that health information has on the food purchase decisions of meal planners. Specifically, we examine how information concerning the health implications of dietary fat intake influences the meal planner's daily intake of total and saturated fat. This analysis uses the 1989 to 1990 and 1990 to 1991 Continuing Survey of Food Intake by Individuals (CSFII), and companion Diet and Health Knowledge Surveys (DHKS). Our results show that health information regarding dietary fat intake has a significant impact on meal planner food choices.
