In last week’s lecture, we talked about the problems caused by poor eating habits, focusing on how medical professionals are trying to solve these problems. Today, we’ll continue with the topic, but focus on research from a different field: marketing.
Now, what can marketing tell us about improving nutrition? Well, a team of marketing professors has studied the importance of the visual aspect of food, and how that influences food choices. Those marketing experts assert that the impact of the appearance of food is greater than we might presume, and might hold the key to encouraging better eating. So how important is the appearance of food? Research shows that just seeing an appealing photograph of a hamburger in an advertisement, for example, can cause individuals to imagine the taste or smell of that hamburger. This can make them more likely to purchase and consume it. Of course, that’s the point of advertisements. So, isn’t that a good thing? Well, the marketing professors argue that this is actually a problem, because the combination of pleasing aesthetics of and easy access to unhealthy foods, such as hamburgers and pizza, may be contributing to a worldwide health crisis. In fact, statistics show that 39% of all adults in the world weigh too much, and another 13% are obese.
Now, as we discussed last time, medical professionals have tried to fight the obesity epidemic by focusing on the nutrients found in different foods, emphasizing things like carbohydrate, fat, sugar and calorie content. But they’ve had limited success. The marketing professors believe that the real solution to obesity is making food look appealing and focusing on the pleasure of both looking at and eating that food. That pleasure can be used as a tool to promote healthy food choices. In fact, the research done by the team showed that associating healthy food with pleasant images, experiences and emotions led to greater interest in purchasing or eating it. This is a better strategy, they claim, than reminding consumers that a certain food is good for them. But are they right? Well, the researchers cited a marketing campaign designed to reverse the sales decline of carrots. The campaign didn’t emphasize the carrots’ healthy qualities, but embrace their beauty and the pleasure derived from eating them For example, the ads focused on the bright, beautiful orange color and crisp texture of the carrots. The campaign led to an impressive increase in product sales of more than 10%. The researchers believe that other companies could bolster sales of healthy foods with similar ads, depicting their products as attractive and a source of pleasure.

17.How have medical professionals tried to fight obesity?
18.What can other companies learn from the example of the carrot promotion campaign?
选项
A、They can turn to marketing professors for advice.

D、They can boost sales of healthy foods by making them visually appealing.
答案
D
解析
本题问其他公司能从胡萝卜促销活动的例子中学习到什么。录音最后提到,研究人员认为,其他公司可通过类似的广告,将产品描绘成有吸引力之物和快乐的来源,以此促进健康食品的销售。故选D项“它们可以通过使健康食品在视觉上具有吸引力来提高健康食品的销售。”A项“它们可以寻求市场营销教授的建议”和B项“它们可以依靠打广告来做促销”在录音中均未提及。C项“它们可以用产品的健康品质来吸引顾客”,胡萝卜促销活动并没有强调胡萝卜的健康品质,而是外观。
