LIGHT PRODUCTS USAGE AND WEIGHT CONTROL HABITS SURVEY - The Calorie Control Council’s most comprehensive survey ever. Telephone survey conducted in February 1998 by Booth Research Services, Inc., Atlanta. This nationally projectable survey measures the prevalence of low-calorie/sugar-free and reduced-fat foods and beverage usage and compares it with previous years. Specific variables driving the light market are identified. Behavior, attitudes and interest toward weight control and dieting, healthy eating and fitness are addressed. For the first time, Body Mass Index is included in the data and fully cross-tabulated. Data on teen usage (ages 13-17) are also included for the first time. All standard demographics are incorporated, as well as custom data tables cross-referencing key light product and dieting attitudes and behaviors. Price per copy is $3,000.
