Most Americans say higher food prices are keeping them from eating healthy, new survey says

A Pew Research Center survey conducted in early 2025 found that the majority of American adults report that rising food costs are creating challenges for maintaining a healthy diet nationwide.
The survey revealed that 90% of adults noticed rising healthy food costs, with 69% reporting these prices hinder their ability to maintain healthy eating habits.
Adults with lower or fixed incomes were disproportionately impacted, with nearly half indicating challenges in maintaining a healthy diet, whereas only a small portion of higher-income adults expressed similar difficulties; many also mentioned that taste preferences and the convenience of highly processed foods influenced their eating habits.
The survey of 5,123 adults also noted chronic diet-related diseases cause over 1 million American deaths annually and cost $1.1 trillion in health care and lost productivity.
Experts suggest increasing plant-based foods, reducing costly animal products, and improving food label literacy could improve diet quality despite higher prices and ongoing socioeconomic challenges.
