The Price Of Junk Food Vs. Fresh Food (INFOGRAPHIC)

It's widely known that the poorer you are, the more likely you are to be obese. The chart below jumps off of the obesity research of Adam Drewnowski who found that a single dollar could buy more calories of junk food rather than healthy food. He found that a dollar can get someone 1,200 calories of cookies or potato chips, but only 250 calories of carrots.

The Ration put 30 common supermarket items on a scatterplot and the results pretty much supported Drewnowski's findings. Explore the chart below to learn what foods are highest in calories, sodium and sugar but lowest in price.
