As countries have started to implement economic measures in the food industry, the effect of these subsidies and taxes is not well researched. Therefore, the team along with their funding from the New Zealand health ministry measured the impact of these measures and the impact it has had on the market for these goods. Ultimately, they found that a 20% subsidy on fruit and vegetables was able to reduce the net prices of these goods by around 3.4%. This journal presents how a fruit and vegetable subsidy could help reduce the cost of goods for consumers which would benefit both the government (in reducing the rate of inflation) and also the business as consumers would be more inclined to purchase their goods due to it taking a lesser portion of their income.

Ultimately, by measuring the price elasticity, they concluded that further studies are required to make a better, more informed opinion. This paper is important for the liturgical review as it provides a counter point to the previous journals that can assist in Healthy Burgers making a more nuanced and well backed opinion. Marklund M, Lee Y, Liu J, Sy S, Abrahams-Gessel S, Wilde P, Mozaffarian D, Gaziano T and Micha R (2020) ‘Health Impact and Cost-Effectiveness of Financing Fruit and Vegetable Subsidies with a Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Tax in the US: A Micro-Simulation Study’, Current Developments in Nutrition, 4(Supplement_2):1721–1721, doi:https://doi.org/10.1093/cd Due to market regulations on food being viewed as being inefficient or only applicable to those of lower socio-economic nature, this paper was created to examine the true costs/ impacts of these subsidies/ taxes. Ultimately, these researchers found that if implemented, these market restrictions could prevent “1.11M CVD events, 0.14M CVD deaths, and 0.34M diabetes cases” and ultimately save “$56B in formal healthcare costs” and earn the government “1.49B net revenue”. Through this study, Healthy Burgers can provide
