Families Could Spend Less And Eat A Healthier Diet

Clearly. As I have been saying for years.

"Although food prices rose 4.8% last year, eating nutritiously is still well within reach of the American family, according to the latest U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) statistics. Analysis done by USDA's Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion (CNPP) indicates that families could, in fact, spend even less on food than what they currently spend and eat a healthier more nutritious diet."

Though I may not agree with the foods they suggest are "healthy," the fact remains that eating healthily is CHEAPER than eating unhealthily or eating "diet" foods.
