Fat taxes and thin subsidies: Prices, diet, and health outcomes (2005, background): “A growing number of researchers have suggested that this is, in large part, an economic issue (e.g., Drewnowski, 2004).”
Behavioral science at the crossroads in public health: extending horizons, envisioning the future. (2006, background): “Several attempts have been made to explain the 'obesogenic' environment (Ball, Mishra, & Crawford, 2003; Brownell & Horgen, 2004; Drewnowski, 2004; Egger & Swinburn, 1997; French, Story, & Jeffery, 2001; Hill & Peters, 1998; Liu, Cunningham, Downs, Marrero, & Fineberg, 2002; Stunkard, 1977;…”
Why the Poor Get Fat: Weight Gain and Economic Insecurity (2009, background): “Drewnowski (2004) argues that low-income households choose foods of low”
Socioeconomic Disparities in Health Behaviors (2010, background): “…the obesity epidemic is a relatively simple matter of changing economics—the drastic increase in obese persons in developed countries coincides with dropping prices of refined grains and added sugars and fats, making these cheap, high-calorie foods accessible to low-SES groups (Drewnowski 2004).”
Creating healthy food and eating environments: policy and environmental approaches. (2008, background): “Drewnowski (21, 22) has hypothesized that the observed links between food supply trends and rising obesity rates are mediated by the economics of food choices.”
Recommended community strategies and measurements to prevent obesity in the United States. (2009, background): “Healthier foods generally are more expensive than lesshealthy foods (28), which can pose a significant barrier to purchasing and consuming healthier foods, particularly for low-income consumers.”
