2nd Blog Post

One of the most interesting resources I have found was an article. The author's name is Stacy Kish and the name of the article is " Healthy, low-calorie Foods Cost More on Average". It is interesting because it talks about a study that was done by Adam Drewnowski. His research showed that lower-income foods cost more per calorie, while more calorie dense foods showed a lower cost per calorie. Their researchers also found that high calorie foods were less likely to rise during inflation. This means that when prices are food are going up, the price of high calorie foods and fast foods are less likely to rise. I have re-visited my topic and was able to tweak it to make it more narrowed. Instead of showing how low-income effects the health of society, I have narrowed it down to see how it is effected with in people who actually live in poverty. One challenge that I may have is finding a variety of sources instead of just internet and article sources.

  1. You can conduct your own study, if you'd like. Go shopping and compare food prices. Also, make sure to ask the librarians for help.
