Does social class predict diet quality
Nicole Darmon,Adam Drewnowski +1 more
TL;DR: If higher SES is a causal determinant of diet quality, then the reported associations between diet quality and better health may have been confounded by unobserved indexes of social class, and some current strategies for health promotion, based on recommending high-cost foods to low-income people, may prove to be wholly ineffective.
Journal ArticleDOI
The economics of obesity: dietary energy density and energy cost
Adam Drewnowski,Nicole Darmon +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence is emerging that obesity in America is a largely economic issue and if the rise in obesity rates is related to the growing price disparity between healthy and unhealthy foods, then the current strategies for obesity prevention may need to be revised.
Journal ArticleDOI
Food Choices and Diet Costs: an Economic Analysis
Adam Drewnowski,Nicole Darmon +1 more
TL;DR: What is needed is a comprehensive policy approach that takes behavioral nutrition and the economics of food choice into account, and encouraging low-income households to consume more costly foods is not an effective strategy for public health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contribution of food prices and diet cost to socioeconomic disparities in diet quality and health: a systematic review and analysis.
Nicole Darmon,Adam Drewnowski +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the contribution of food prices and diet cost to socioeconomic inequalities in diet quality and found that foods of lower nutritional value and lower-quality diets generally cost less per calorie and tended to be selected by groups of lower socioeconomic status.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Cost Constraint Alone Has Adverse Effects on Food Selection and Nutrient Density: An Analysis of Human Diets by Linear Programming
TL;DR: A simple cost constraint can decrease the nutrient densities of diets and influence food selection in ways that reproduce the food intake patterns observed among low socioeconomic groups, suggesting that economic measures will be needed to effectively improve the nutritional quality of diets consumed by populations.
