| MidnightRider85 said: Well, one problem I see with this plan is that it is immediately biased against poorer Americans because if it is based on risky health behaviors like whether or not a person is obese -- there are a lot of obese poor people because the types of foods they can most afford to buy is often full of sugars, carbs, and other unhealthy things that can lead to unhealthy lifestyles. |
While poor people generally favour inexpensive pre-prepared food which is typically unhealthy, many of the most healthy foods are remarkably inexpensive and just require effort to produce healthy and tasty meals. For the most part, if you just look for "Staple Foods" you will find a lot of healthy foods which are inexpensive throughout the year and can account for the majority of your diet.
