We all know and expect soda, chips, chocolate, and other highly fattening snack foods to be in the store, prominently displayed near checkouts, often advertised at a discount on sale.

Right. That's because in our considered state of mind, we reject those dietary choices as unhealthy. And yet, we end up buying it after we are exposed to retail layouts that are designed by psychologists to maximise the profit of the store owner.
