Diets high in fruit and vegetables are more expensive than diets high in fats and sugars

Fats and sweets provide dietary energy at a low cost, while fruit and vegetables provide dietary energy at a much higher cost. Diets high in fats and sugars, which are bad for our health, are more affordable than diets high in fruit and vegetables, which are good for our health. This has significant health implications, particularly for people from low socioeconomic areas.
