The cost of eating healthy in KFL&A in 2024

Everyone deserves the right to adequate, healthy, safe, affordable and culturally appropriate food. People who live with food insecurity cannot afford to buy the food they want and need for good health.

 Decorative image

In 2023, about one in three households in the Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox & Addington (KFL&A) area lived with food insecurity.

 

Food insecure households are likely to:

  • Worry about running out of food
  • Compromise their food quality
  • Reduce their food intake
  • Experience disrupted eating patterns

Food insecurity negatively affects health:

  • Children who are hungry are more likely to develop depression and asthma later in life.
  • Adults who are food insecure have poorer physical and mental health, and are more likely to have chronic conditions such as depression, diabetes and heart disease.
  • Food insecure adults with chronic conditions have more difficulty managing their conditions.

Food insecurity is highest among:

  • Indigenous Peoples and racialized Canadians
  • Households making low wages or on social assistance
  • Single mothers
  • People who rent their home.

 Households on low incomes are often forced to compromise healthy eating to pay for other expenses.

Determining the cost of eating healthy in our community

KFL&A Public Health determines the cost of eating healthy by costing food items from the National Nutritious Food Basket. The 61 foods costed reflect a healthy eating pattern from Canada’s Food Guide. 

Decorative image

KFL&A Public Health surveyed seven grocery stores in May. The lowest available price in each store is recorded for each food item. The prices from all the stores are then averaged. An extra five percent is added to the total food cost to account for additional food items such as spices, seasonings, condiments, baking supplies, soups, coffee, and tea. 

What items are not included in this food costing?

  • Processed convenience foods

  • Popular snack foods

  • Special dietary foods

  • Infant foods

  • Religious or cultural foods

  • Soap, shampoo, toilet paper and other personal care items

This also does not include costs associated with eating out at restaurants and extra costs for inviting company to share a meal.

What else should you know about this food costing?

  • It assumes that most people have the necessary time, food skills, and equipment to create meals from low-cost food staples and ingredients.

  • It assumes that the consumer has access to quality food stores and the means of transportation to comparison shop.


What can you do?

Learn

  • Learn more about why food insecurity is a serious public health problem.

  • Read these facts sheets about food insecurity.
  • Learn more about why income solutions are needed to reduce food insecurity.

Spread the word

  • Talk about the problem of food insecurity at your dinner table or at social gatherings.

  • Share the Cost of Eating Healthy report with your peers, colleagues, and partner agencies.

  • Repost @proofcanada messages about food insecurity.

Ask for action

  • Talk to your local political leaders to act on income-based solutions to food insecurity.

  • Write letters to urge MPs to act on food insecurity by implementing policy interventions that improve income security.

Scenario references

Scenario 1

Two adults (male and female 31 to 50 years of age), two children (girl eight years of age, boy 14 years of age) living in a three-bedroom accommodation; Ontario Works (OW). 

Scenario 2

Two adults (male and female 31 to 50 years of age), two children (girl eight years of age, boy 14 years of age) living in a three-bedroom accommodation; income is based on one minimum wage earner.

Scenario 3

Two adults (male and female 31 to 50 years of age), two children (girl eight years of age, boy 14 years of age) living in a three-bedroom accommodation.

Note: Income from employment is based on median after-tax income in Ontario for couples with children; Employment Insurance (EI) and Canadian Pension Plan (CPP) contributions are calculated using median total income[1]couples with children. Assumption of a dual income family with a split of 65 percent/35 percent between partners.

Scenario 4

One adult (female 31 to 50 years of age), two children (girl eight years of age, boy 14 years of age) living in a two-bedroom accommodation; OW. 

Scenario 5

One adult (male 31 to 50 years of age) living in a bachelor accommodation in Kingston CMA and a one-bedroom accommodation in Greater Napanee, OW. 

Scenario 6

One adult (male 31 to 50 years of age) living in a one-bedroom accommodation; Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP). 

Scenario 7

One adult (female 72 years of age) living in a one-bedroom accommodation; income based on Old Age Security and Guaranteed Income Supplement (OAS/GIS). 

Scenario 8

Two adults (male and female 31 to 50 years of age) living in a one-bedroom accommodation; ODSP. 

Scenario 9

One adult (female pregnant 19 to 30 years of age) living in a one-bedroom accommodation; ODSP. 

Scenario 10

One adult (female 31 to 50 years of age), two children (girl three years of age, boy four years of age) living in a two-bedroom accommodation; income is based on one minimum wage earner.

Rental costs are based on averages from the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) Rental Market Survey. The survey is conducted during the first two weeks of October in urban areas with populations of 10,000 or more and the results reflect market conditions at that time. The survey includes both new and existing units in privately initiated structures with at least three rental units. The cost for a new tenant would likely be higher, as current tenants are protected from large annual increases by Ontario’s residential rent increase guideline. Utility costs (e.g., heat, electricity, hot water) may or may not be included in the rental amounts. 

CMHC did not report on rental rates for one- bedroom and three- bedroom accommodations in Napanee due to unreliable data. Therefore, an inflation adjustment using the Canada Price Index for shelter has been applied to estimate rental costs for these accommodations in 2023 .
