The rate of food insecurity rose by 32% in 2008, to 14.6% of U.S. households. Drs. Hilary Seligman and Dean Schillinger argue that the widening price differential between unhealthful and healthful foods may increase socioeconomic disparities in the incidence and management of obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and other diet-sensitive chronic diseases.
