However, you don't have time to carefully plan menus for meals or read food 41 at the supermarket. Since you really 42 yourself to a healthier lifestyle, a little help would come in handy, wouldn't it? This is where a \ 43 some of the burden of doing it all yourself. Choice architects are people who organize the contexts in which customers make decisions. For example, the person who decides the layout of your local supermarket-including which shelf the peanut butter goes on, and how the oranges are piled up — is a choice architect.
Governments don’t have to 44 healthier lifestyles through laws for example, smoking bans.

The customer is given important health information, but is still free to decide what to choose.
