Cheap, healthy foods
It appears that Drewnowski's study is based on a steady diet of prepared and/or processed foods in addition to fresh produce. Most people buy their food mostly prepared, rather than cooking "from scratch".
My experience is that the cheapest foods in the world- whole grains in their natural state- can provide the proper nutrients, particularly if you sprout your wheat or other grains/legumes. It would greatly benefit lower socioeconomic groups to learn how to use & cook these basic foods.
It seems a bit like this study has an underlying agenda that requires a perception that healthy foods cost more. Are they laying groundwork for more government intervention, maybe?
