I always read that health outcomes are partly worse for poorer folks because they don’t have the same access to “healthier, high quality” ingredients and am curious what this SPECIFICALLY means. What do they not have access to that wealthier folks do? Does “healthy, high quality food” mean in season produce, or healthier oils used to cook? Whole Foods or farmers market? No snacks? More meals with variety in nutrition because they can afford more produce?
Or is it dependent on choices at the store/dietary choices? I know technically “healthy” choices can be made at most groceries, but what makes even these choices different from what the rich have access too? Where are they shopping?
I feel like it comes down to the time and energy that lower income households simply do not have to implement a mostly nutritious diet in their life?
Curious about all thoughts and hope my ideas above don’t come off as close minded or assumptions, just trying to get specific!
