Unhealthy diet plays a role in 11,000 deaths every year in New Zealand and healthier diets are important in preventing common diseases including heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes. Initial pilot research conducted by CTRU showed that for example, eating healthily does not necessarily cost more. Indeed, in some cases, it can actually cost less.
