29 Jul 2019 --- Supermarket layouts, pricing strategies and shopping environments are worsening the obesity epidemic. This is according to UK research published by the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) and weight-loss organization Slimming World. Thirty-six percent of shoppers impulse buy unhealthy products on a special offer, and 20 percent say supermarkets cause them to go off track when attempting to lose weight. These findings precede the UK government’s expected response to the consultation on layout and price promotions and have helped People’s Supermarket in London to update its floorplan.
