Nutrition and You: Trends 2008

ADA’s Consumer Opinion Survey
Nutrition and You: Trends 2008

Where does the American public get its information on food and nutrition? Are the most popular sources also the most credible?

Are consumers doing all they can to eat well and exercise? If not, why not?

Have people increased or decreased their consumption of fruits, vegetables and other foods in the past several years?

What do people think about organically grown products, low-fat foods, allergen-free foods, probiotics and other foods and nutrients?

The answers to all these questions and more are now available as the American Dietetic Association releases the findings of Nutrition and You: Trends 2008, ADA’s nationwide public opinion survey.

Nutrition and You: Trends 2008 presents a vivid picture of American consumers’ current attitudes and offers an opportunity to trace the evolution of people’s knowledge and beliefs about food and nutrition over nearly two decades.
