      abstract = {This study examines the effect of a meal planner's  nutritional awareness, exercise habits, and household  socioeconomic characteristics on market participation and  frequency of purchase of snack peanuts.  Data are from a  household survey of 2880 U.S. households collected by  Gallup in 1997.  Statistical tests showed that a  double-hurdle or Cragg model best represented consumers'  participation and purchase level decisions in the snack  peanut market.  The results indicated that meal planner's  nutritional considerations while making food purchase  decisions had little effect on the participation level  decisions, but did affect purchase frequency of snack  peanuts.  Those household meal planners who were overly  concerned about undesirable nutritional factors tended to  decrease their purchase of snack peanuts.  Promotion of  snack peanuts on the basis of nutritional benefits through  health professional and media is a useful tool to increase  purchase frequency.},
