• Obesity and socioeconomic status in developing countries: a systematic review (2012, background): “wholegrain cereals, fruits and vegetables) will likely be expensive for the poor, therefore leading to the consumption of a more energy-dense diet (62,63).”
• On the merits of plant-based proteins for global food security: Marrying macro and micro perspectives (2011, background): “One of the causes of the obesity epidemic is the consumption of cheap concentrated energy from meat products (Drewnowski and Darmon, 2005).”
• Food as Commons or Commodity? Exploring the Links between Normative Valuations and Agency in Food Transition (2017, background): “The “low cost” industrial food system that delivers cheap food —food is cheap in just one specific sense: more calories produced with less average labor-time in the globalized commodity chain system [49]—to a large proportion of the world’s population is based on capitalism’s greatest strength, name”
• The built environment and obesity. (2007, background): “Healthier diets that may reduce the risk of obesity cost more, and high-energy-density foods, which have been found to be associated with increased risk of obesity, cost less (86).”
• Food Insecurity is Associated with Diabetes Mellitus: Results from the National Health Examination and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999–2002 (2007, positive): “Individuals living in food insecure households may substitute preferred foods with cheaper alternatives.(1,5,6,27,28) These cheaper alternatives tend to be nutritionally poor but calorically dense, allowing individuals to maintain—and potentially exceed—their caloric requirements.”
• Australian Dietary Guidelines (2006, background): “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].”
• Food Security (2018, positive): “Diet quality is now considered a contributor to food insecurity in developed countries,(14) and the urban poor are vulnerable in cities around the world.”
