Healthy Eating Costs Rise

The cost of healthy food continues to rise

The Northwestern Health Unit says it found the monthly cost for a family of four to be $941, a nearly three per cent hike over last year.

Nutritionist Julie Slack says incomes continue to fall off the pace forcing people to make even tougher decisions how they spend their money.

Slack says some families cannot even afford basic food stables to supports healthy eating.
