Highly processed, high fructose corn syrup foods are more expensive to buy all around.

I have heard that it is expensive to eat healthy before from a bunch of know nothing shop at “Whole Foods” idiots.

Eating healthy is cheap. Staple foods are cheap. Meat is cheap. Pizza rolls and frozen fish sticks and tatertots are expensive. Four, cheese, meat, vegetables, fish and potatoes are all DIRT cheap.

I’m sorry, but I have found the opposite to be true.

It is not cheap to eat well.

White flour is cheap. Whole wheat or rye flour is expensive. Milk is expensive. Meat is expensive. Real cheese is expensive. Fresh or frozen veggies are expensive. Potatoes are a lot more expensive than they used to be. Two years ago I could buy a 10# bag of potatoes for 1.99 now it is 3.49 for a 5 lb bag. Even white rice has more than doubled in price in two years.

But I can get a 40 count bag of pizza rolls for 1.99 or three boxes of mac and cheese or 6 packages of ramen noodle for 0.00.
