We aim to (1) assess the role of multiple determinants for transitioning to more plant-based diets in a sample of omnivorous respondents, such as recommendations from doctors, scientists and politicians; lower costs; and increased availability, and to (2) identify which subpopulations are most receptive to which determinants. Using data from a survey on the use and acceptance of Traditional, Complementary and Integrative Medicine in Germany (N = 4065; N omnivorous = 3419; 84%), we find that the overall willingness to change to a more plant-based diet is low (mean = 2.25 on a scale of 1–4). Respondents are most willing based on doctors' recommendations (mean = 2.61), and if prices for plant-based products were lower (mean = 2.55), and least willing based on scientists' and politicians’ recommendations (mean = 1.86). Regression analyses reveal that men, the baby boomer cohort, and respondents with lower levels of education have a significantly lower willingness to transition to more plant-based diets. Further, recommendations from doctors, scientists, and politicians appear to be promising interventions for addressing the dietary behavior of men and older cohorts. Interventions by doctors and lower prices for plant-based products have the highest potential to induce dietary change even among the reluctant, reducing health inequalities and promoting environmentally friendly behavior.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":242,"journal":{"name":"Appetite","volume":"206 ","pages":"Article 107765"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142613337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study was conducted in the Bronx, New York City, a borough marked by disparities and limited healthy food access. The study aimed to co-develop with urban consumers of low income a conceptual framework representing food procurement decision-making, with special attention paid to the multifaceted dynamics of food acquisition in the context of food insecurity. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions were conducted with bodega customers and food pantry clients to inform a food procurement decision tree. The framework illustrated the hierarchical order of food sources and coping strategies influenced by factors like household income, food assistance program participation, perceived access to food sources, living conditions, and immigration status. While grocery stores and supermarkets were the primary food sources, secondary sources like bodegas and food pantries were relied upon when physical or financial access was constrained, and superstores when resources were available. Farmers' markets and online grocery shopping were tertiary sources and oftentimes unrealistic options for participants. This study highlights the challenges faced by consumers of low income in accessing healthy food and underscores the need for food pantries to meet nutritional and cultural food needs.

According to the rejection-identification model, people who perceive such group-based discrimination respond by identifying more strongly with their stigmatized group, which can attenuate negative consequences of discrimination. However, some research shows that these protective benefits may not exist in the weight domain. Here, we examined whether perceived weight discrimination predicts identifying as “fat,” and whether that increased identification protects against negative consequences of discrimination for health. In a larger study, U.S. adults who reported considering themselves “to be overweight” (<em>N</em> = 1725) reported on their perceived weight-based discrimination, fat-group identification, stress, and eating behaviors (i.e., uncontrolled eating, emotional eating, and restrained eating). We tested whether fat-group identification mediated the associations of perceived discrimination to stress and eating. Results showed that perceiving weight discrimination was associated with greater fat-group identification, which in turn was associated with more stress, uncontrolled eating, and emotional eating. These findings suggest that identifying as “fat” in the face of weight discrimination may not reduce subsequent stress or unhealthy eating patterns. As such, in contrast to prior research on the rejection-identification model that suggests identifying with one's group is protective for other identities, “fat” as an identity may not provide the same psychological and physical health benefits.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":242,"journal":{"name":"Appetite","volume":"206 ","pages":"Article 107772"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142643576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our findings reveal that self-identity positively influences willingness to pay (WTP) for fairtrade products, as consumers are more inclined to pay a premium when these products align with their self-concept. Both altruistic and egoistic values shape self-identity, although their impacts differ. Specifically, egoistic values such as monetary, visual, and functional considerations negatively affect WTP, while sensory and altruistic values enhance it. Additionally, egoistic values uniformly moderate the relationship between self-identity and ethical behaviors. Interestingly, altruistic values exert a negative moderating effect, suggesting that when altruistic values are dominant, self-identity expression becomes less critical for ethical purchasing decisions.

Data were collected from September 2023 to January 2024. Fifteen fathers were interviewed until data saturation. A semi-structured interview guide was used to conduct virtual interviews and thematic analysis was used for data analysis. Three themes and nine subthemes were identified. The three themes were: (1) laying a good foundation, (2) circumstances shaping perspectives, and (3) agents of future behavioural change. Fathers perceived themselves as influencing their children's eating habits by laying a good foundation and that their perspectives were influenced by their circumstances such as lack of time and gender roles. Fathers identified elements that could initiate their future behaviour change to better influence their children's eating habits. These findings provide nuanced insights into paternal perceptions, for the future development of father-specific interventions to enhance their influence in promoting good eating habits among their children. Healthcare professionals can encourage paternal involvement through providing health education on healthy nutrition for their children to both mothers and fathers in the clinical setting. Healthcare professionals can also organize hands-on events that teach about food exploration and nutrition for fathers to take part in with their children.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":242,"journal":{"name":"Appetite","volume":"206 ","pages":"Article 107835"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142880643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
