ESSAYBID ANSWER

ANS: B
One of the propositions of Milio’s framework is that alteration in patterns of behavior resulting from decision making of a significant number of people in a population can result in social change. Some behaviors, such as tobacco use, have become difficult to maintain in many settings or situations in response to organizational and public policy mandates. Increasing taxation on unhealthy food choices may make it more difficult for community members to make these unhealthy choices.
