The biasing health claims of fast-food restaurant health claims: lower calorie estimates and higher side-dish consumption intentions

Article Abstract:

Four experiments were conducted to determine the effects of health halos of fast-food restaurant chains. People are more likely to underestimate the calorie content of main dishes served in "healthy" fast-food restaurants and choose higher-calorie side dishes, drinks and desserts. Effects of health halos can be eliminated if people consider their falseness.
