Book Description
This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. An increase in the price of fruits and vegetables relative to less healthy foods could reduce consumers¿ incentives to purchase fruits and vegetables and result in less healthy diets. Whether such a change in relative prices and incentives has occurred in the U.S. is difficult to prove because of quality improvements in many fresh fruits and vegetables. For commonly consumed fresh fruits and vegetables for which quality has remained fairly constant, analysis of price trends reveals a price decline similar to that of dessert and snack foods. This price trend evidence suggests that the price of a healthy diet has not changed relative to an unhealthy one, although a healthy diet might not include every fresh fruit or vegetable currently available.

Book Description
Americans do not consume recommended levels of fruits & vegetables (veg.). One argument is that they are expensive, esp. when purchased fresh. This analysis est. an annual retail price/pd. for 69 forms of fruits & 85 forms of veg. Since many fruits & veg. contains much that is non-edible in the purchase wt., cost/pd. might not be a good indicator of cost per amt. consumed. Therefore, this analysis also est. the no. of serv./pd. of purchased item after excluding all parts of the fruits & veg. not usually eaten. According to this formula, consumers can meet the recommend. of 3 serv. of fruits & 4 servings of veg. daily for 64¢, which represents only 12% of daily food expend. Also, 63% of fruits & 57% of veg. were cheapest in their fresh form. Illus.
