Chapter 7
In this chapter we look at what the respondents emphasise when buying food
and beverages, as well as how that affects the eating pattern for chocolate,
sweets, sweet pastries, salty snacks and sugary soft drinks.
Our numbers show that there has been a significantly increasing interest in
eating healthy in the last couple of years. Seven in ten said that this was something
they put great emphasis on. Four in ten said that they particularly emphasised
that the food and beverages they buy contain little sugar. Three in ten
said the same for fat. Women were more concerned about the the health aspects
of food and beverages than men. People with higher education were also
far more concerned about this than those with lower education. The young
were considerably more concerned about food being cheap than other age
groups. The most important motivational factor for eating healthy was to
achieve good health. Then followed avoiding overweight/obesity, as well as
looking good. The young put more emphasis on the latter than the other age
groups.
There is a widespread notion that there is little correspondence between people’s
stated interest in healthy food and what they actually eat. Our results
indicate, however, that this is not the case. The group of people who said that
they were concerned about eating healthy, had a far lower eating/drinking frequency
for chocolate, sweets, sweet pastries, salty snacks and sugary soft
drinks than the other group of people who were not concerned about that.
They were also far more likely to answer that this kind of products were reserved
for weekends and special occasions than those who were not concerned
about eating healthy. This group of people who were concerned about
eating healthy also had a much higher eating frequency for fruit and vegetables
than those who were not concerned about that.
Chapter 8
This chapter deals with eating and drinking patterns of young people.Young
people have become increasingly concerned about having a healthy diet. In
later years we have also seen many positive development trends in young
people’s eating patterns. For example, there has been a significant reduction
in the consumption of sugary soft drinks, and a considerably increase in the
consumption of water (tap water/bottled water). Furthermore, we have also
seen an increase in consumption of fruit and vegetables. Still, there are many
young people who still have a far higher intake of chocolate, sweets, sweet
pastries, salty snacks, fast food and sugary soft drinks than health authorities
advice.
