Choice architecture refers to the way in which choices are presented to consumers and how this influences their decisions. Promoting healthy eating through choice architecture involves strategically placing healthy food options in more accessible and prominent locations to encourage their selection.

When healthy food options are offered in central areas, it increases their visibility and accessibility, making it more likely that individuals will choose these options over less healthy alternatives. This approach aligns with psychological principles that suggest people are influenced by the ease of making healthy choices in their environment.

The effectiveness of this method relies on the concept of 'nudge' theory, which indicates that small changes in the way choices are presented can significantly impact decision-making and lead to healthier eating behaviors without restricting freedom of choice. By prioritizing the placement of healthy foods, choice architecture fosters an environment where making healthier choices is easier and more appealing, ultimately benefiting public health.
