Nutrition knowledge and preferences of food cooperative shoppers.
Tests of nutrition knowledge and food preference were given to matched samples of food cooperative and supermarket shoppers. The food preferences of cooperative shoppers, but not their nutrition knowledge, differed significantly from the preferences of supermarket shoppers. Preferences of supermarket shoppers were greater for foods having a low index of quality, while those of the cooperative shoppers were greater for foods having a high index of quality.
