Scared straight? Recalls change how we eat — briefly

Some consider becoming vegans, others give up store eggs, but will it last?

“Experts say that while it’s typical for there to be radical changes in the short term, it’s too soon to predict whether the egg recall will affect Americans’ buying habits over the long term — whether it will spawn a boom in veganism, for example. But if the reactions to past recalls are any indicator, dietary changes for most people will be short-lived.”
