The authors also find an increased openness among minimum wage households to purchasing new grocery items, which offers retailers with a nutrition-friendly brand image an opportunity to nudge consumers toward purchasing more healthy foods.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EPattabhiramaiah\u0026rsquo;s current work in progress focuses on the influence of school dietary health policies on shopping behaviors. Public policy advocates want society to eat healthier. As a result, at the federal level, nutrition policy now mandates that food served at school cafeterias be healthier. While directives about what to eat (or not) have had little positive impact on public health (turns out, people don\u0026rsquo;t like to be told what to eat!), an experiment is now underway to try to inculcate healthy eating habits in children. Pattabhiramaiah\u0026rsquo;s current research focuses on the impact of the mandates on the families\u0026rsquo; shopping behaviors.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EQuestions that will be addressed include:\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cul\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EDoes raising the minimum wage impact households\u0026#39; grocery baskets?\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EHow can marketing work synergistically with public policy to nudge society to eat healthier?\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EAre mandates for healthy food served in school cafeterias effective in improving the nutritional health of Americans?\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EHow do children who eat healthy meals in school cafeterias affect the dietary choices made by their families?\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\u003C\/ul\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EPattabhiramaiah will present his talk, engage in a Q\u0026amp;A with Center Faculty Director Beril Toktay, and take questions from the audience.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESpeaker Bio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003Ehttps:\/\/www.scheller.gatech.edu\/directory\/faculty\/pattabhiramaiah\/index.html\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAdithya (Adi) Pattabhiramaiah joined the Georgia Tech Scheller College of Business as an assistant professor of marketing in August 2014 after receiving his Ph.D. in Business Administration from the University of Michigan.
