The Cost of Eating in Alberta 2008
report examined the incomes and
costs of four basic needs (shelter,
food, transportation and childcare) in
six different lower income household
scenarios. Costs were collected in six
Alberta communities. These scenarios
were created to examine the
affordability of basic needs for
household situations known from
national surveys to be at risk of food
insecurity. As expected, the
households depicted would have a
very difficult time meeting basic needs.

This report is published by the Alberta Community/Public Health Nutritionists Food Security Subcommittee and Dietitians of Canada, Alberta and the Territories Region.
