Socioeconomic's Doesn't Affect Food

perlaf19 — 2024-02-16 15:19:51 UTC

Ms Fajardo and Ms Longchallon both think it does not. We've asked why they could possibly think that, and they provided us with articles linked.

On the contrary to Ms Fajardo and Ms Longchallon, Ms Seary and Mr Tavarez both believe it does. One of the articles they stated were the one linked above.

"Did you know that your level of education, what you do for a living and the amount of money you make has a direct impact on your nutrition?" - Christian Tavarez

"It'll directly affect what foods you afford and what foods you can't if you have less money." - Inez Seary

Evidence

‘Range of options can seem virtually limitless to some. But there are many limiting factors that influence each individual’s food choices, such as wealth, location and time. Around the globe, people have many different dietary habits.’

Reason

perlaf19 — 2024-02-26 13:22:37 UTC

Relative to other households, low-income households must allocate a higher share of both their income and time budgets to food if they wish to consume palatable, nutritious meals…

perlaf19 — 2024-02-26 17:45:34 UTC

“In 2006, the cost of the Thrifty Food Plan corresponded to about 8 percent of median income for a four-person household, while the more expensive Low-Cost Food Plan totaled about 11 percent. Eleven percent of income is close to the 10-percent share that the average American household devotes to food each year. The fact that the average American household spends about 10 percent of its income on food implies that these healthy diets are affordable, or at least as affordable as the diets Americans are currently consuming.” They can easily buy this food, since its affordable and everything. It’s a whole program for food, they just need to save up until they can afford these cheap foods.

Reason
