I wrote a blog post on this subject (Rising Food prices Forcing Tough
Choices), since my income - which has been and is fixed at $8,400 per year
for the foreseeable future - is resulting in my having to make tough food
choices. 

These choices will ultimately affect my health.

Am hoping readers, especially low-income readers, will respond to the blog
post with examples of how their diet has had to adjust. This would take into
consideration the unlikelihood of having i) transportation to enable bulk
buying, ii) more than one choice of market at which to shop, or iii)  a
decently-equipped kitchen (assuming one has a home or a kitchen).

The consequences of higher prices will be, at least in North America,
increasing obesity. Because cheap food is not only less nutritious, it's
fattening.

Of course, popular opinion, egged on and supported by the misguided media,
supposes otherwise: that the lower one's income, the skinnier one should be.
