The Correlation Between Cheap Food and Stress

Food that's cheap is something that would appeal to someone who has a lot of cortisol in their body, who's stress is high. So there are very real ways in which the experience of stress increases the palletability and the attractiveness of high carbohydrate, salty, sweet foods. And as well as being often much cheaper than their whole food equivalent or their wanted nutritious equivalent. People who are experiencing economic and kind of demographic stressors, which is often associated with poverty, are both priced out of a nutritious diet, but then also living experience lifestyle factors that make a poor quality diet more attractive to them. It's a vicious cycle. It's incredibly harmful and hard to escape.
