Adherence

The current food environment in Dutch supermarkets and out-of-home chains predominantly promotes energy-dense, nutrient-poor products, with 79% of supermarket assortment and 90% of out-of-home assortment falling outside healthy dietary guidelines (Schijf van Vijf).

Recognize that the default food environment is engineered to promote unhealthy eating. 79% of supermarket items and 90% of out-of-home items do not meet basic healthy dietary guidelines. To eat healthily, you must actively seek out specific healthy items rather than assuming they are the norm, as they are often less promoted and less accessible than unhealthy alternatives.
