Multiple empirical studies demonstrate that educational interventions and literacy programs can successfully alter consumer preferences and purchasing behaviors across various domains, including food choices and lifestyle habits.
The retrieved papers provide robust, direct empirical support for the claim that educational interventions can alter consumer preferences. Papers [1], [2], [8], and [11] all present experimental or survey-based evidence showing that education, information boosts, or nutritional literacy directly shift consumer preferences, perceptions, and purchasing habits. No papers refute the claim.
