Text Box: Low-income families cannot afford to buy fruits and vegetables According to researchers at the University of California - Davis, important cost barriers exist for low-income families who want to eat according to the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. To determine if price is a barrier to fruit and vegetable consumption for low-income families, these researchers compared the average cost of a selection of fruits and vegetables based on the 1995 Dietary Guidelines' Thrifty Food Plan to a market basket from the 2005 Dietary Guidelines. While the 2005 market basket cost 4% less than the 1995 Thrifty Food Plan, it would still require a low-income family to devote between 43% and 70% of its food budget to fruits and vegetables, according to the researchers. "Public policies should examine ways to make fruits and vegetables more affordable to low-income families," the researchers conclude. For more, see the Journal of American Dietetic Association.
