Do insects look disgusting? Exploring gaze behaviour in a buffet-style setting with insect and unfamiliar snacks using mobile eye-tracking
Characterising and understanding food-disgust
A social norm intervention increases liking and intake of whole crickets, and what this tells us about food disgust
Edible insects are healthy and sustainable but are rejected as food in Western populations due to disgust. We tested the effectiveness of written interventions to reduce disgust and increase intake of whole crickets. Cricket acceptance after reading a descriptive social norm or food preparation intervention passage was compared with a control passage, and an unfamiliar but non-disgusting food ('leblebi' - roasted chickpeas). Participants (N = 120…
It tastes OK, but I don't want to eat it
To better understand food-disgust, we investigated the long-standing theory that disgust towards a food causes it to taste 'bad'. To induce disgust, participants were served cookies labelled as containing crickets (Study 1); or served whole crickets versus novel (leblebi) and familiar (peanuts) control foods (Study 2). Participants (Study 1: N = 80; Study 2: N = 90) tasted the foods and rated taste pleasantness, desire to eat, disgust and, in Stu…
