Rich people generally do not spend a lot of time preparing their own food.
They generally eat more nutritionally balanced diets than lower socioeconomic groups.
One study by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that the higher the income, the higher the values for quality, variety, diversity and overall diet quality.
The world, literally, is their oyster- Rich people have lots of choice. When you can eat anything you want, you might just end up eating what is good for you…or maybe not.
