Abstract: The aim of this dissertation is to examine, model and estimate the importance of demand factors that shape the diet quality choices of the U.S. households. In particular, I focus on the low-income households, because these households are consuming food of lower diet quality. Understanding whether and how income is restricting these households in their food choices is important for the policy makers. First, I analyze the importance of the food access in explaining the difference in diet quality across income. Second, I study the importance of price effects of high nutritional quality food for the low-income households. Third, I analyze the differences in preferences across the U.S. cities
