By now, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t most of us know what we should<\/em> be eating fruits, vegetables, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t whole grains, lean meats, and fish, among other foods. But anyone heading off \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t to the supermarket with a shopping list of the best recommendations for a \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t healthy diet is in for a bit of sticker shock. Over a two-year period, a recent \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t University of Washington study tracked the costs of “nutrient-dense” foods \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t (foods high in vitamins and minerals and low in calories) and “energy-dense” \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t foods (foods high in calories and low in vitamins and minerals aka junk).* \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t The nutrient-dense foods rose in cost by almost 20 percent while the cost of \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t junk food declined. The study found that getting your average day’s worth of \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t 2,000 calories from the junk side cost $3.52 while getting your 2,000-calories \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t worth from nutrient-dense cuisine would cost $36.32. Since the average American \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t spends about $7.00 a day on food, you can see where the rise in obesity might \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t come from. \u00a0 Continued…<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
