Food Foundation: 'Healthy eating more expensive'

Available for over a year

Feeding a family healthily is too expensive, said Laura Sandys of the Food Foundation. "We looked at a sort of normal basket for a family, every healthy option was so much more expensive", she said. "We believe that there is an unequal environment from which families can choose healthy products. What we're calling for is a levelised playing field", she added. "In many ways we are padding out our diet with calories, but not with nutrition." (Image: food shop) (Credit: Reuters)
