A graphical depiction of the price trends of fresh fruits and vegetables (+ ~32%), breakfast cereal, fish, soups, cheese (- ~17%), meats (- ~22%), and carbonated nonalcoholic drinks over a thirty year period from 1980 to 2010, which shows a basic decline in the prices of food groups considered "unhealthy" and a basic increase in the prices of food groups generally considered to be "healthy." These trends in food prices are at least partly due to artificial factors at work, including government subsidies and production efficiencies.
