EconomPic: The Evolution of Food Consumption

While not a surprise, this is rather concerning. I recently outlined that bottom earners have been earning less for the better part of the past 15+ years and it looks like it may be actually impacting the dietary habits of Americans (i.e. eating less [unlikely] or eating cheap / unhealthy food [likely]).

The crossover point in 1999-2000 is what fascinates me.

I was relaxing, catching up with the news when I realized I hadn’t posted a Scary Chart in quite some time.  Then, I saw this chart.  The quote above is from the author of the chart, not me.  Interesting, eh?
