>>On average, the healthier diet costs 69% more, but this estimate is greatly affected by food choices. For a family whose household income is exceeded by one-third of the population, this increased expenditure represents about 30% of total household income. This could be decreased to about 10% to 15% if a healthy diet is carefully designed.

- krageon 5y ago"For a family whose household income is exceeded by one-third of the population", in other words "rich". Yes, it's only 30% household income in extra spending! And perhaps with a lot of effort it can be lowered to 10-15% extra spending. This is a lot, especially when you don't have such an enormous amount of leeway in money that you can just move somewhere else.
