Hello- I am new to food forums!
I am doing a survey about consumers and lettuce for my senior project at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. The survey is for educational purposes. I am hoping each of you can take ten minutes out of your day… http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/VN8YKDM

Ten minute for lettuce? I'm in!

My relationship with lettuce has never been the same since I read the Steingarten piece, Salad the Silent Killer.

I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.”

Overheard in an Iowa diner:

Customer (pointing to menu item): Is this salad made with iceberg lettuce?

Waitress: It's pretty cold!

It's an interesting little survey.

The author seeks information on what you would like to see in a website about lettuce (recipes, photos and videos, ability to provide feedback, recall notices), and how often you shop. Which varieties of lettuce you purchase occasionally or regularly. These include escarole, Boston bibb, red leaf, green leaf, romaine, etc.

I would have expected a question about whether you grow your own lettuce in season, the role of lettuce in your meal planning (main course, salad, vegetable accompaniment, etc) and questions about organic and chemical lettuce.
My only complaint was that if they need to charge me $30 because they're robbing the duck to pay the boar they might as well give me a more substantial portion of flour, water, and bits of meat.

Shame the questionnaire only takes zip codes with no code for outside the US. I used 12345.

QUOTE
Sugging is a market research industry term, meaning "selling under the guise of research". This behavior occurs when a product marketer falsely pretends to be a market researcher conducting a survey, when in reality they are simply trying to sell the product in question.

Generally considered unethical, this tactic is prohibited or strongly disapproved of by trade groups, such as the UK Market Research Society MRS, CASRO and MRA, for their member research companies.


I believe sugging is actually illegal in Canada.

There's also frugging (fund raising under the guise) which is fun to say.
