A new food rating system that analyzes both nutrition and cost value of food may now make it easier for people to find budget-friendly, nutritious foods in today`s tough economy. The Affordable Nutrition Index (ANI), unveiled today at the American Dietetic Association`s Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo by leading nutrition expert Adam Drewnowski, PhD, professor at the University of Washington, is the first and only tool that assesses food`s nutritional profile and cost value to create a nutrition-value-per-dollar score.
