Visiting the local supermarket is something that the average consumer does at least once or twice per week without much preparation or insight. But supermarkets are carefully designed to influence purchase decisions and maximize profits and therefore can have a substantial impact on consumer health. This session is aimed at educating RDs about the strategies employed by supermarkets and describing how RDs can utilize these strategies to help shoppers make more healthful choices.
