Title: | Should we spend more on fish? – How consumer beliefs about fish influence fish and meat expenditure shares | Contributor(s): | Morales, Luis Emilio (author) ; Higuchi, Angie (author) | Publication Date: | 2020-04 | Early Online Version: | 2019-12-13 | DOI: | 10.1111/joss.12556 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/28550 | Abstract: | Health benefits derived from regular fish intake have encouraged governments to promote its consumption. However, can beliefs about fish increase expenditure on fish and reduce meat expenditure? Survey data from Modern Metropolitan Lima, Peru, indicate that female respondents were more likely to spend a bigger proportion on fish, while more educated respondents spent less on fish. Also, those with a higher household income and who eat fast food regularly were more likely to spend a bigger proportion on beef. Factors that positively influence expenditure share on fish were the belief that fish is healthy and nutritious, a preference for fish flavor and familiarity with fish. Conversely, these beliefs reduced the expenditure shares on beef and chicken. These outcomes demonstrate both the positive effect of fish consumption campaigns on fish expenditure and their negative impacts on meat expenditure, which has implications for campaigns developed by governments and the meat industry. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of Sensory Studies, 35(2), p. 1-13 | Publisher: | Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, Inc | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 1745-459X 0887-8250 |
