A restaurant owner notices that although customers praise a new low-sodium menu, they are ordering more salty appetizers than before.

Which of the following best explains this paradox?

  1. Most of the restaurant's customers remain genuinely unaware that the appetizers are high in sodium.
  2. The restaurant quietly stopped serving the free warm bread it once brought to tables.
  3. The presence of healthy options makes customers feel licensed to indulge in salty ones.
  4. The new menu's low-sodium entrees are noticeably more expensive than the salty appetizers customers choose.
  5. The new low-sodium dishes happen to taste considerably better than the older items they replaced.
