Great job Greg. Unfortunately while junk food may not be the cheapest way to eat, it certainly is cheaper to fill the bellies of a family on less nutritional food; ie: bologna @ 99 cents/lb vs low sodium turkey @4.99/lb. Spices are also less economical than frying foods in fat for flavor. Then of course there are the convenience foods loaded with junk that many workers rely upon due to time constraints that meake it impractical to cook complete & healthy meals like in days gone by. Its a complicated issue w/many factors.alcmenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347350040477157156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6823426891710618085.post-25252276776542879642011-05-04T10:04:58.104-07:002011-05-04T10:04:58.104-07:00Linda,

I, too, wondered whether cheap junk food was truly more affordable than healthy food. To answer this, I wrote a program that reads a database of prices and nutrients of grocery store foods and finds the lowest cost combination that satisfies the FDA's recommended daily intake for each (not just the main ones like calories and fat but also minor nutrients like niacin, folate, etc). I found that the minimum price for our area seems to be about $2.50/day, though a reasonable diet (can't just eat flour by itself) will run about $100/month. I put this program online for free in the effort to help those in need. The website is www.nutrimentumfood.com. Once you make an account, you can begin tailoring the diet to your preferences. Please help me spread this to those who can help the needy. Junk food is not the cheapest way to eat. We need to dispel this myth!<br /><br />Greg<br />hitz@nutrimentumfood.comGreghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332937266184373821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6823426891710618085.post-24654772009243099972010-06-22T11:40:49.329-07:002010-06-22T11:40:49.329-07:00buy viagra

I question whether the poor have to eat cheap junk food because it is all they can afford. This is not a judgement but truly a question. I know their access to good food is limited by their poverty, e.g., no good grocery stores in their neighborhood, poor public transit options but I think awareness of nutrition and lack of cooking skills (not limited to the poor, alas!) contributes a fair share to the unhealthy diet of many of the poor. I've often thought offering good food and a chance to socialize coupled with a cooking demo and opportunities to cook together would be a great service to offer the poor. OK, I've rambled enough! You may already have this covered!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08088992478564151148noreply@blogger.com
