The Question: Low fat, Low carb…What’s Next?

• We Asked Consumers

– Using Feedback®, our Consumer Guidance Panel Tool, we:

1. Fielded a study of consumers’ nutrition attitudes for the next 12 months

2. Asked height and weight of all respondents

3. Calculated BMI of respondents

4. Cross-tabulated the responses based on Body Mass Index

• The Big Questions:

– Are the attitudes of the Obese different from those of healthy weight?

– How can we use this information to create successful new products?

• Back to The Big Questions:

• Are the attitudes of the Obese different from those of healthy weight?

– Conclusion: YES, but in specific and unpredictable ways

• How can we use this information to create successful new products?

– Create a tool for our clients to gain similar insights as we did on this study.

Why is Feedback Thick & Thin the right Tool for the Food Industry?

•CDC says:–In the United States, obesity has risen at an epidemic rate during the past 20 years.

–One of the national health objectives for the year 2010 is to reduce the prevalence of obesity among adults to less than 15%.

–Research indicates that the situation is worsening rather than improving.

•Mattson says:–If you are not doing something to address this issue now, you are not planning properly for the future.

–If you’re not thinking about the problem, you are probably part of it.
