Even though it is possible to eat both healthily and sustainably, empirical evidence shows a negative correlation between these two objectives in currently adopted diets. This poses the challenge of setting food taxes that are able to address simultaneously these two objectives. We use the insights from behavioural economics and psychology to develop a utility-maximization, multiple-selves model that incorporates various key motives driving food consumption choices. We apply the model to food choice in the case in which some food characteristics are of a public good character while others are of a more private good character.
