• Australian Dietary Guidelines (2006, neutral): “For instance, meat, fruit and vegetables food groups have the highest nutritional quality however are usually associated with highest costs, while sweets and salted snacks have the lowest nutritional quality but are an inexpensive source of dietary energy [730, 806, 859, 1016].”
• Behavioral science at the crossroads in public health: extending horizons, envisioning the future. (2006, neutral): “…risk factors in regression models, rather than explicitly modeling more complex causal pathways from risk regulator, to behavior, to body weight (important exceptions include Bobak, Skodova, Pisa, Poledne, & Marmot, 1997; Brunner et al., 1997; Drewnowski & Specter, 2004; Epel et al., 2004).”
• Contribution of food prices and diet cost to socioeconomic disparities in diet quality and health: a systematic review and analysis (2015, neutral): “In the past, the relative healthiness of different foods was based on the most arbitrary of criteria.(5) More recently, the nutritional value”
• Food store availability and neighborhood characteristics in the United States. (2007, neutral): “Food costs are found to be associated with diet quality (French et al., 2001; Drewnowski and Specter, 2004), and studies reveal significant correlations between diet quality and the availability of healthful foods in stores (Cheadle et al.”
• Embodying Neoliberalism: Economy, Culture, and the Politics of Fat (2006, positive): “Meanwhile, fruits and vegetables receive few direct subsidies (although they are, in fact, subsidized in other ways) and are thus more costly to purchase (Drewnowski and Specter, 2004).”
• The global epidemic of obesity: an overview. (2007, neutral): “Other factors cited as favoring excess dietary intake include low cost of energy-dense foods (18), increased consumption of prepared meals, and ample opportunities to eat throughout the day.”
• Economics of Food Energy Density and Adolescent Body Weight (2009, positive): “a calorie is more than 100 times more expensive if obtained from lettuce than from butter (Drewnowski et al. 2004; Drewnowski and Specter 2004).”
• Rights-based food systems and the goals of food systems reform (2008, positive): “Poor people, women, and people of color have higher incidences of overweight and obesity (Drewnowski and Specter 2004; Ogden et al. 2006), in addition to higher food insecurity (Nord et al. 2007).”
