That was followed by 51 percent of Gen X and Millennials compared to only 44 percent of Gen Z Americans who were trying to make healthy food choices.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the highlights from the study below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>46 percent of Americans believe it\u2019s too expensive to eat healthy<\/li>\n<li>58 percent of Baby Boomers are trying to eat healthy<\/li>\n<li>44 percent of Gen Z Americans are making healthy food choices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>46 percent of Americans believe it\u2019s too expensive to eat healthy<\/h2>\n<p>Almost half of Americans believe that healthy food is more expensive. According to a survey conducted by the Cleveland Clinic, 45 percent of Americans purchase food from a fast-food restaurant at least once a week with the majority stemming from the younger generation.<\/p>\n<p>Eating healthily requires a lot of time, effort, and accessibility. In today\u2019s fast-paced world, Americans are pressed for time. On top of being expensive, 23 percent of Americans don\u2019t have time to prepare healthy meals and 20 percent say they aren\u2019t aware of how to prepare healthy meals.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, healthy foods aren\u2019t as easily accessible in minority communities. It\u2019s an issue for 20 percent of Black Americans, who have less access to stores that sell healthy foods.<\/p>\n<p>Most of America\u2019s biggest barriers when it comes to eating healthy stem from cost, time, and knowledge.<\/p>\n<h2>58 percent of Baby Boomers are trying to eat healthy<\/h2>\n<p>Since the rise of fast-food popularity, there has been an increased risk of obesity. The number of obese or overweight people has increased in the last five years from 66 percent to 71 percent an increase of over 7.5 percent.<\/p>\n<p>A study has shown that 36.6 percent of adults eat fast food regularly. That compares with 50 percent of Americans that try to eat healthy, according to Statista Consumer Insights.<\/p>\n<p>As humans age, our health becomes more valuable, and according to a recent study, our food choices tend to reflect that.<\/p>\n<p>Baby Boomers represented the group most likely to make healthy food choices with 58 percent responding that they are trying to eat healthily.<\/p>\n<h2>44 percent of Gen Z Americans are making healthy food choices<\/h2>\n<p>While more than half of Baby Boomers were actively trying to eat healthily, that percentage declined the younger the respondent.<\/p>\n<p>Only 44 percent of Gen Z Americans are pursuing eating healthily. The attitudes among Gen Z were lower than their Baby Boomer counterparts by 14 percentage points.<\/p>\n<p>Parents can help their children make better food choices too.<\/p>\n<p>About 36.3 percent of children and adolescents are eating from fast-food restaurants regularly, accounting for over \u2153 of American children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s never been more important for Americans to eat healthily, but according to a recent study, 46 percent of US citizens believe that making healthy food choices is simply too expensive.
