The chart below shows the economic cost of two school lunches. The side dish most likely costs much more in the healthier lunch
because it contains a larger portion than the current lunch. it uses a substitute item that is more expensive. it tastes better than the side dish in the current lunch. it reduces childhood obesity in a more effective way.
The correct answer is: " it uses a substitute item that is more expensive".
The healthier lunch is a menu option which has been developed in order to offer an alternative to students. The substitute product that has been chosen to integrate the side dish is relatively more expensive that the one used to produce the side dish in the ordinary lunch. The cost of producing the new side dish has increased and the market price at which the healthier option is sold is also larger.
