Abstract
An endogenous switching regression model is used to examine how meal p lanner health knowledge affects dietary fat intake. Ethnicity, income, meal planner age, being on a low-fat diet, and other health awareness behaviors had significant effects on health knowledge. After controll ing for differences in household and meal planner characteristics, int ake of total and saturated fat was found to depend on health knowledge status.
