Low-income women's diet quality varies by race

There are no healthy foods. Period.

There is only healthy eating. Period.

And that you need a high income to eat healthily is also a myth. Period.
"The findings, they say, show that it is possible for low-income families to fit more healthy fare into their budgets.

'You see a lot of people on the news say you can't have a healthy diet on a low income,' said lead researcher Dr. Sharon L. Hoerr, a professor of food science and nutrition at Michigan State University in East Lansing.

'This refutes the idea that it's impossible,' she told Reuters Health.

Instead, Hoerr said, many low-income families need education on how to find relatively inexpensive healthy foods."

A very rare "they got this one right" moment in overfatness research.
