Not All Carbohydrates are Created Equal

In Chapter 4 of Bodley's book, Bodley states that Over-consumption malnutrition is attributed to the "nutrition transition" (148). This is the change from complex carbohydrates, whole grains, and vegetables to fats, simple carbohydrates, or sugars. While observing the isle of bread at this grocery store, I noticed that the majority of the bread being sold were white bread. The healthier multi grain bread with fiber were noticeably outnumbered. In addition, the healthier multi grain bread were more expensive than the plain white bread.

As a part time poor and starving college student, I try to save as much money as I can. When I am off at college, I have to buy my own food and cook for myself. The bread that I tend to buy are the cheapest ones available. I may only save a couple dollars but a couple dollars here and there will add up to an extra meal.
