30 of the Healthiest Foods of All Time

The Economic Research Service (ERS) of the US Department of Agriculture revealed Americans are spending a lot of their food budget towards very unhealthy foods. This should not be a surprise to you. Fast foods and processed foods are convenient, but what is the price that Americans are paying for this convenience? The answer is their health!

The average US household spends nearly 18% of their food budget on refined grains followed by sugar and candies, at nearly 14%. The next highest category was red meat, mostly from concentrated animal feeding operations, or CAFOs, followed by frozen or refrigerated entrees and beverages.

In stark contrast, Americans spent less than 0.5% of their food budget on dark green vegetables and a similar amount on orange vegetables. Other vegetables made up less than 4% of their budget and whole fruits are just over 6%.

In order to protect your health and the health of your family, it is advisable to spend 90% of your food budget on whole foods and only 10% on processed foods.
