So for a family of 4 you are talking about $6&#x2F;day, which is $2,190&#x2F;year.  For a working class family with an income of $20,000-$40,000&#x2F;year it represents roughly 5-10% of their total income for the year to eat healthy.<p>That&#x27;s not a small chunk of change for families like that.  Sure they&#x27;ll almost certainly earn that back in lower medical costs in the long run, but in the short term it&#x27;s a serious burden.
