Still, going from pop to juice is a step in the right direction. It's an early step on a long journey, but a step nonetheless.
One reason a lot of people fail to switch to a healthy diet is because they try to go straight from "whatever the hell I want to eat whenever I want to eat it" to "trendy diet full of food I hate only allowed 2 meals per day".
Switching from pop to juice is far from the last step, but it's a good conscious decision if they're committed to continuing.
Unless they think it is healthier and have no intention of quitting it, of course.
It's also expensive as hell buying healthier products to find a balance you like and is healthy. For example I'm trying to move away from white rice. (I added it to literally everything when I was poor because it was cheap and halfway nutritious.) Now I'm finding out I don't like Quinoa. So I'm going to try brown rice and whole wheat pasta. That particular exchange isn't horribly expensive but I never would have risked not liking something when I was hard up for money.
So people make this decision, check out blogs, try super expensive kale, find out they aren't in the group that likes it, and give up because they don't have the time or money to experiment properly.
