We present a new approach to more deeply understand the mind of consumers with respect to food products, using a combination of artificial intelligence to provide the ideas, Mind Genomics to understand how consumers respond to these ideas, uncovering Mind-Sets, and statistical assignment of new people to these newly uncovered Mind-Sets using the PVI, personal viewpoint identifier. We illustrate the approach in detail with yogurt, and then present data from other studies about yogurt, milk, and cheese, to reveal new knowledge about emergent Mind-Sets for conventional dairy products. The key benefits of the approach are the scope (many ideas from artificial intelligence), discipline (experimental design to uncover what is important), actionability findings, mind-types, speed (within 2 or 3 days), and cost (low because of automation).
