At the time, a largely vegetarian diet accented with local ﬁsh, unreﬁned grains, and seasonal vegetables may have been considered humble “peasant food,” but today we appreciate the kitchen tips and tricks from the generations of thrifty home cooks that came before us.

## Abstract

Healthy diets are perceived to be expensive due to vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and low-fat animal protein. The cost for a 7-day meal plan for an economical version of MyPlate (MP) and a plant-based olive oil (PBOO) were calculated. Servings of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains were determined. MP cost $53.11, and PBOO cost $38.75. Lean animal protein contributed $11.20 (21%) of the total costs for MP. PBOO had more servings of vegetables (44.50 vs. 19.33), fruits (34.50 vs. 30.75), and whole grains (34.0 v 20.0). An economical version of MP costs $746.46 more per year while providing fewer servings of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains.
