A study of the nutrition knowledge and attitudes of shoppers in a new kind of cooperative food store indicated shoppers were primarily interested in cooperatives because of the food: its believed superiority in terms of growing conditions, freedom from processing, or nutritional value. Shoppers were skeptical of processed foods and believed organic foods, vitamin supplements, and other special nutrition measures are needed to ensure health. Working members and vegetarians were significantly less orthodox in their nutrition attitudes than nonworking members and nonvegetarians. Seventy-five percent of the sample thought nutrition information and the education function of the cooperative were important. Topics of greatest interest to these food cooperative shoppers were organic gardening, food preservation and preparation, and vegetarianism.
一项针对新型合作食品店购物者营养知识与态度的研究表明，购物者主要因食品而对合作社感兴趣：他们认为合作社的食品在种植条件、无加工以及营养价值方面具有优势。购物者对加工食品持怀疑态度，并认为需要有机食品、维生素补充剂及其他特殊营养措施来确保健康。在职成员和素食者在营养态度上比非在职成员和非素食者明显不那么传统。75%的样本认为合作社的营养信息及教育功能很重要。这些食品合作社购物者最感兴趣的话题是有机园艺、食品保存与烹饪以及素食主义。
