According to nationally representative data, our diets need significant improvement. Improving dietary quality scores is incredibly important, as it has academic implications for children and health implications for the whole family. Dietary quality scores in the United States have been in need of improvement for decades, remaining mostly unchanged, despite individual, community, and national level interventions. Thus, novel strategies are needed that look beyond the current focus of existing interventions. Food environments are a novel area of increasing focus. Current food environments are designed to overwhelm willpower and drive us toward less healthy food choices. However, public health nutrition practitioners are learning to redesign the environments in which we make food choices to make the healthier options easier to choose. This redesign is done through choice architecture, which employs behavioral economics or nudge strategies. Making healthier choices easier is needed, as people become busier and busier with more on their plates. Because of this, they use up cognitive capacity and turn to automatic, irrational systems to make food decisions for themselves and their families. This automatic system is susceptible to and easily influenced by environment, which can either make or break healthy eating plans depending on how that environment is designed. To reduce cognitive burden surrounding healthy food decisions, we can encourage families to use behavioral economic strategies and nudge their families toward healthier eating by making healthier foods more normal, attractive, and convenient and less healthy foods less normal, attractive, and convenient in places where they spend the majority of their time.
