The Real Cost of Healthy Food
The third phase of Go for 2&5 in NSW aims to dispel the myth that eating healthy is expensive and time consuming.
This has been done by comparing the cost per kilo of ten common snack foods to fruit and vegie alternatives – which in most cases cost less than one third the price!

Download the Real Cost of Healthy Food report card and find out just how much you spend on your 2&5.

The Real Cost of Healthy Food report card was developed by NSW Health in partnership with the Dietitians Association of Australia.
