According to statistics Canada (2013), over one million households experience food insecurity. This is due to the high cost of a healthy diet and the difficulty some social groups have accessing healthy foods (Symbaluk & Bereska, 2016). People of lower socioeconomic status have a feeling of less control over their lives, which then reduces the motivation to engage in healthy behavior. For example, an individual may smoke giving false impressions of easing stress. Consumption of alcohol may also be used in attempt to escape from life’s stressors (Symbaluk & Bereska, 2016). The conflict perspective can help us understand why these social inequalities
