British scientists decided to find out how much it costs to purchase food products for people who adhere to a healthy lifestyle. It turned out that wholesome food is about three times more expensive than unhealthy.
Specialists compared the prices of healthy and unhealthy products over the past ten years. It turned out that since 2002, the cost of healthy foods has increased 1.5 times, and unhealthy foods - only 0.5 times.
According to experts, the country's authorities should balance the situation with the cost of a healthy diet, otherwise it would be unprofitable for people following a healthy lifestyle. It was found that the high cost of healthy products is explained by the country's agricultural policy.
Of course, involving people in a healthy diet is quite expensive, but the cost of treating people who may be faced with diseases caused by unhealthy diets will be even more expensive. That is why, according to experts, it is more profitable for the state to feed its citizens healthy food.
