Resumen

We aim to estimate prices of healthy and unhealthy baskets in Argentina in order to assess the access to good quality nutrition. We compare costs of 2 baskets; one was used in official poverty lines estimations and the other contains suggested daily intake by nutrition experts. Results show that, as expected, healthy food is more expensive than unhealthy items. Although the price gap has narrowed it is still wide and may explain part of the uptrend in obesity figures in Argentina.
