In the realm of food, it’s something that school administrators, health insurers, and lawmakers have been thinking a lot about in recent years. Some approaches they’ve tried out are dramatic: for instance, banning sodas (https://www.statnews.com/2016/05/18/sugary-drinks-san-francisco-warning-label/) in school vending machines, or implementing a junk food tax. Others are more subtle. These so-called “nudges” often use positive cues and suggestions rather than rules to try to change behavior.
