Not all Dutch supermarkets make healthy food choices equally easy

Supermarkets have the intention to facilitate healthy food choices. However, no supermarket has set adequate goals for the sale of healthy food. Unhealthy food dominates in the promotion folders: 82% of food products in the promotion folders are unhealthy. The shop design does not focus much on the healthy choice.
