I don't know what it's like there, but healthy food generally costs quite a bit more than eating junk food. However, making healthy food yourself is a viable, cost-effective option.
What saddens me is so many just take the lazy, cheap junk food option, where one contributes to the other (ie. Junk food can be known to promote lethargy, which in turn encourages the purchase of more quick-to-make junk food the next time).
The only way I can see out of it is to regulate food stamps for healthy food only. However, there will always be circumvention somewhere. It's nearly impossible to keep an eye on.
