Healthy food getting more expensive

Needless alarm alert!

"The price of fruits and vegetables is climbing faster than inflation, while junk food is actually becoming cheaper, the findings of a new study suggest.

Using retail prices at major supermarket chains in Seattle, researchers at the University of Washington found that low-calorie, nutrient-rich foods — mainly fruits and vegetables — were far more expensive, calorie for calorie, than sweets and snack foods."

Since there are no "healthy" foods, it makes no difference. There is only a "healthy" weight.

"The findings, published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, highlight a key obstacle to healthy eating. And they may help explain why obesity rates are highest among the poorest Americans, according to the researchers."

Bull.

Healthy eating is any eating that gets your BMI between 18.5 and 24.9. That is all that we know.

How you get there is your business.

If you can get there more cheaply, good for you. If you get there spending more and you can afford it, good for you.

As long as you get between 18.5 and 24.9, good for you.

The rest of the conversation is a distraction.

It is all about Calories in , Calories out.

Nothing else.
