Why you should bribe your 
kids!
Incentivizing…
+
or
The Result? 
Drum roll please…
We are a society full of cookie monsters! 
Less than 20% of the students chose the healthy dessert
Wait…wrong pyramid
This is the one…the official USDA Food Pyramid
Now Choose! 
or
The Result? 
Curious Face 
And…Drum roll please…
We are still a society full of cookie monsters! 
Once again, less than 20% of the students chose the healthy dessert
This time… 
an incentive was given
Not this type of incentive…
These type of incentives
The Result? 
And…Drum roll please…
80% of all students chose the healthy dried fruit 
over the cookie! 
So…students chose the healthy choice when a 
simple, somewhat lame, incentive was given.
Yeah, but maybe this 
study only works on 
kids. They can be quite 
gullible as we know.
