This statistic shows a number of factors which would encourage adults to eat more healthily in Great Britain, from an opinion poll conducted in April 2014. There has been a lot of media coverage in Britain recently regarding the effects of a diet high in sugar, fat and salt on health, prompting the survey into peoples' attitudes towards healthy eating and measures such as a proposed 'Sugar Tax'. Of respondents to this particular question, 50 percent agreed free cooking classes for adults would encourage them to eat more healthy.
