As food costs grew by over 10 percent in 2022, many Americans are saying prices are a big reason they’re unable to eat healthily.
According to a survey released Wednesday by the Cleveland Clinic, 46% of those asked say food prices are the biggest barrier to healthy eating. Ranking as the No. 2 reason, 23% said they don’t have the time to cook healthy meals. One in five respondents say they don’t know how to cook healthy meals. “A heart-healthy diet is the cornerstone of how we lower the risk of cardiovascular disease,” said Dr. Leslie Cho, a cardiologist for Cleveland Clinic. “It’s really sad that in our economic times people feel that eating heart healthy is more expensive.”
Although the cost of fruits and vegetables jumped in 2022, so did pretty much all other types of food. Cakes and cookies increased 17.1% in 2022, while sweets rose about 12 percent. Fresh fruits and vegetables went up 6.4%, according to the government's consumer price index.“As long as we eat the rainbow of colors in your fruits and vegetables, that’s good for you and your cardiovascular health,” Cho said.

NYT: Police gave Tyre Nichols 71 conflicting commands, impossible ordersChris Hayes: “Shouting, 'Give us your hands' is how the officers try to make it seem that Nichols is the source of their violence, that Nichols is 'resisting.' It was a transparent pretext to keep beating him ultimately leading to his death. This behavior by the officers is so damn out of line it’s very suspicious that something else was going down. They pulled him out of the car and immediately started beating him...did they 'know' him 🤷
