Eating healthy is so expensive.

[🍹🌞🍉2001 SUMMER vibes]

Frozen pizzas, chips and other snacks are so cheap.

Today I tried buying healthy food. Potatoes, fruits, vegetables, yogurt. And it was like 40 bucks. So that's 3 times the amount I usually spend on food.

Why is eating healthy more expensive than eating bad food like burgers???? i dont get it. shouldnt the government do something to encourage people to eat healthy food by making bad food really expensive and healthy food much cheaper.

I feel cheated btw. i could of gotten a lot of burgers for this money at mcdonalds

Huh its pretty cheap here

[craigsters]

A head of cabbage cost 8 CAD last year one of my neighbours that eats vegetables told me

[Tiberius]

Cant relate. Veggies are so much cheaper here than the junk food you mentioned

[Rumpelcrutchskin]

Did you buy "organic" ?

[Anomalous ⁧ 󠁳 ⁧Anonymous]

you can just buy them at street markets instead of the grocery store

Sure you can eat cheap, but buying 20 pills a day when your older ain't cheap.

You should buy good quality basics and prepare them yourself and eat a little less. Highly refined, exotic, heavily spiced, delicacies make food unnecessarily expensive. The best comparison is mineral water compared to energy drinks.

For most it's possible to eat healthy and relativly cheap. You just have to choose wisely. Less is more.

I'm pretty sure the yogurt is the problem.

The problem with government support for healthy foods is that they will only increase the tax on junk food instead such as a sugar tax rather than decreasing the price of raw produce.

Personally it hasn't been too bad but I can understand that it is hard for people to eat healthy on a budget. Watching seasons for fruits and vegetables always help lower expenses or buying bulk.

The other idea is to grow your own produce in your garden, that's what I did for fun but as a result, I have a lot of fruits and vegetables ready to eat whenever I need them.

Eating healthy in the west is expensive because they don't want you to do it. They want you unhealthy so they can make money from your medical bills.

Here's my philosophy: I spend as much as I did on the unhealthy food, but I get less food. It's less, but it's healthy. Eating less is also a benefit; look at it that way. You eat less, but the food going into your body is not going to kill you. You'll also feel better physically.

Try it for a while... it sucks because you'll be hungry in the beginning, but stick with it and your body adjusts.

Its not, a bag of rice is a dollar a pound, potatoes even less, and eggs don't cost that much at this point.

Low impulse control is expensive, planning meals is harder than fast food or grabbing a snack. The poorest groups in america are fat, not starving, a consequence of their inability to make good decisions in all aspects of their lives.

Fast food isn't cheap, a big mac is over 5 dollars now. Just look at the big mac index for the inflation.

Cut the expensive and go for the cheap ones and be creative with your cooking.

Eg: Large bags of wholemeal rice, lentils, oats, cous cous, pasta etc are cheap and will take months to finish. Same for large bags of onions, potatoes then go weekly for milk, cottage cheese portions of greens if needed etc.
