"In diesem Beitrag wird der Kauf gesunder Nahrungsmittel untersucht und geprüft, welchen Einfluss dabei ernährungsbezogene Einstellungen einerseits, sozioökonomische Merkmale andererseits auf das Kaufverhalten ausüben. Datengrundlage der empirischen Analysen sind zwei Stichproben deutscher Haushalte (n1=4426, n2=4638). Es zeigt sich, dass Haushalte, in denen gesunde Ernährung auf der Einstellungsebene bedeutsam ist, auch tatsächlich signifikant mehr gesunde Nahrungsmittel kaufen. Neben dem Einfluss ernährungsbezogener Einstellungen lassen sich auch einige interessante sozioökonomische Differenzierungen nachweisen. So werden mehr gesunde Nahrungsmittel konsumiert bei höherer Bildung, niedrigerem Lebensalter, wenn kleine Kinder im Haushalt leben und in westdeutschen Haushalten, vergleicht man diese mit ostdeutschen Haushalten."

"This paper examines the purchase of healthy food in Germany, in particular the influence which two classes of determinants may exert, that is attitudes concerning nutrition and socio-economic characteristics. The empirical analyses are based on two samples of German households (n1=4426, n2=4638). It is shown that attitudes regarding the health aspect of nutrition do in fact exert a significant influence on the purchase of healthy food. Households where beliefs and preferences favoring a healthy nutrition predominate are also more likely to purchase healthy food products. In addition to nutritional attitudes, socio-economic differences play also a role in explaining the decision to buy healthy food. Its purchase is more likely with higher education, lower age, when small children are living in the household, and, for households in West-Germany in comparison to East- Germany."
