| Mr Puggsly said: Well you did some cherry picking. A large name brand bag of chips could be 4 bucks. But if they're on sale they could be significantly cheaper. There are cheap brands as well, you could get a large bag of chips for $1. Bananas are one of the cheapest fruits. Most fruits and veggies are more expensive than bananas. Even preparing a nutritious dinner yourself may not be as cheap as buying some $5-6 pizzas or $1-2 hamburgers. |
Not cherry picking. Just demonstrating that because you're hard up doesn't mean that you have to eat shitty food. There are cheap, healthy foods. A can of tuna and banana for under a buck total will give you everything you need, and there is literally no way to find junk food that's cheaper than that. But again, for obvious reasons most people aren't going to go that route. Eating is as much if not more about entertainment than it is about sustenance these days.
Though the main cause of obesity is not "unhealthy" food, but simply too much food. And of course it costs more to eat more.
