Rasmussen: 57 Percent Fib About Eating Choices
Doughnuts are fattening?!? We didn't know!
Rasmussen Reports claims 57% Likely To Change Fast Food Order If They Knew Nutritional Facts. Sure they would. Who knew that a triple shake had more calories than lettuce?
Rasmussen Reports claims that 57% Likely To Change Fast Food Order If They Knew Nutritional Facts – July 19, 2010 .
Sure they would.
If only that hungry guy somehow knew that the KFC Double Down had more calories than a piece of celery, he’d change his order.
Uh huh.
Actually, if the average hungry guy was notified that the Double Down only had 540 calories in it, he’d probably order two. We were guessing that the DD had twice the calorie hit.
IF ONLY consumers knew the calories of a Big Mac, they’d rarely order one, the thinking goes. The reality is something quite different, which is why Congress slipped in a provision to aid the coming Fat Police. Hidden Stimulus Mandate: The Fat Police Are Coming
So are 57% of Americans fibbing when asked that question by Rasmussen?
Probably not consciously.
People sometimes tell pollsters what they hope to do–if only their better angels were at the controls when hunger strikes.
