Competition
How does income influence food choices? 🥗💰
Does eating healthy depend on what’s in your wallet? While some believe nutritious food is a luxury reserved for those who can afford it, others argue that education, accessibility, and policy interventions play an even bigger role. As part of a public health research team, your mission is to uncover the real factors driving food choices. Are healthier foods truly more expensive, or do regional access, income distribution, and availability have a greater impact? Your insights could help shape smarter food policies, making healthy eating more affordable and accessible for all. Are you ready to dig into the data and make a real-world impact?
