What it measures

Three eleven-point Likert-type items measure the belief that tastiness and fattening quality are positively correlated in food products. Items capture the belief that low-fat food is not tasty, that tastier foods are more fattening, and one reverse-scored item denying any relationship. The scale is relevant to food choice, health messaging, and consumer perception of food product attributes.
