In the healthier line, sales of healthier food increased by18% and grams of less healthy food consumed decreased by 28%.Rozin et al. did something similar and found making a food harder to reach or changing the serving utensil at a salad bar from a spoon to tongs reduced intake of unhealthy food by 8-16%.
