Most Americans say higher food prices are keeping them from eating healthy, new survey says
- A Pew Research Center survey of 5,123 U.S. Adults in late February to early March 2025 found that 69% say rising food prices make eating healthy difficult.
- This challenge largely stems from increased prices of healthy foods and widespread dependence on costly animal-based Western diets, especially for lower-income groups.
- The survey also revealed taste strongly influences food choices, 83% rate taste as very important, and about 71% of the U.S. Food supply is ultraprocessed, raising health risks.
- More than one million Americans die yearly from diet-related diseases that cost $1.1 trillion annually in healthcare and lost productivity, disproportionately hitting lower-income adults.
- Experts recommend increasing the intake of plant-based and minimally processed foods, stressing that adopting healthier dietary habits at any stage can significantly lower the risk of premature death.
