One former Food and Drug Law student, in an original empirical examination of the public perception of serving size labeling in four different populations, hypothesized about the relationship between his descriptive data and the potential reasoning and decisionmaking processes in which his participants may have engaged. See Appel, Jacob M, Portion Distortion and Public Perception: How Serving Size Guidelines are Over-Serving and Under-Serving the Consumer 34-35 (2002, in Peter Barton Hutt, ed, FOOD AND DRUG LAW: AN ELECTRONIC BOOK OF STUDENT PAPERS hypothesizing that individuals may guestimate the number of servings per package, instead of using the serving size labeled on the item, By attempting to explain the reasoning processes behind his data, the author went further than many other studies of nutritional labeling.

See Appel, Jacob M., Portion Distortion and Public Perception: How Serving Size Guidelines are Over-Serving and Under-Serving the Consumer 34-35 (2002), in Peter Barton Hutt, ed., FOOD AND DRUG LAW: AN ELECTRONIC BOOK OF STUDENT PAPERS (hypothesizing that individuals may "guestimate" the number of servings per package, instead of using the serving size labeled on the item). By attempting to explain the reasoning processes behind his data, the author went further than many other studies of nutritional labeling. Nevertheless, the paper did not contain the type of empirical assessment that would be most useful in determining how individuals ultimately arrived at their decisions.

One notable exception to this trend is a study examining how individuals perform visual searches of nutrition labels. See Goldberg, Joseph H. et al, Visual Search of Food Nutrition Labels, 41 HUM. FACTORS 425 1999, In that study, the authors tracked individual participants' eye movements while manipulating features of a standard nutritional label. The study was significant in that it found that the current nutrition label supported accurate and rapid search for desired information. The study focused purely on perception, however, and not on how consumers processed that information

The study's author readily conceded that certain questions remain[ed] unanswered ... [including] why white and employed male meal planners perceive[d] nutrition as less important in food shopping than their counterparts, and he suggested that future work that might shed some light on this issue is the examination of the link between perception and nutrition. See id. (emphasis added). This exactly the type of work that this paper argues is necessary to fully understand the effectiveness of nutritional labeling.

FREDERIC C. BARTLETT, REMEMBERING: A STUDY IN EXPERIMENTAL AND SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY (1934). Bartlett was a British psychologist who did pioneering memory research in the first half of the 20th century. He is often credited with the incorporation of the concept of schemas in cognitive psychology research. However, the concept of the schema can be traced back to Immanuel Kant, who introduced the term schema and schemata. See IMMANUEL KANT, CRITIQUE OF JUDGMENT 59 (1968).

FREDERIC C. BARTLETT, REMEMBERING: A STUDY IN EXPERIMENTAL AND SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY (1934). Bartlett was a British psychologist who did pioneering memory research in the first half of the 20th century. He is often credited with the incorporation of the concept of schemas in cognitive psychology research. However, the concept of the schema can be traced back to Immanuel Kant, who introduced the term "schema" and "schemata." See IMMANUEL KANT, CRITIQUE OF JUDGMENT 59 (1968).

The terminology related to schemas and scripts is often confused in psychological studies because of the conceptualization of schemas as a subset of scripts. For example, the studies mentioned in note 63 focused on schemas, but the studies used different terms to describe the research

For this reason, some psychologists believe that scripts are a more fruitful area for empirical work. See, e.g., Bower, supra note 63 (noting that schemas carry definite descriptive value, but do little to explain how exactly they facilitate comprehension).

Because this article's aim is to clearly illustrate how psychological insights can be applied to provide a fuller understanding of how individuals use nutritional information, the subsequent sections select anecdotes that help illustrate the operation of a single psychological principle. Of course, these insights are equally applicable to all consumer behavior and should be considered together when designing effective interventions, which is the focus of Part IV of this article.

A former Food and Drug Law student noted similar concerns with respect to the increased focus on trans fat in food labeling: [I]t's valid to question whether the consumer is much better off if she chooses products based solely on their trans fat content. If her health goal for choosing food products is the prevention of heart disease alone, then focusing on fats (and trans fat in particular) would be a good strategy. But the American public has more to think about than just disease prevention. Strategies for overall health also involve things like following the food pyramid recommendations, eating adequate amounts of fruits and vegetables, and managing weight by controlling caloric intake. A singular focus on trans fat arguably takes away from these overarching goals.

See supra notes 77-80 and accompanying text. The concept of protected values is most often discussed in the context of morally motivated decisionmaking (i.e., decisionmaking that involves options that have a strong ethical component, such as choosing to ban abortion or funding stem cell research). To be sure, the calorie counting provision does not have a strong ethical dimension in this same sense. Nevertheless, the construct is still useful for understanding how individuals may be altering their decisionmaking habits through the development of certain categorical rules.
