Why is food thats bad for you cheap and food that is good for you so expensive?!
Lots of people think the US is going down the toilet because of the lacking quality of education, lack of good diet, lack of exercise and running off to the doctor for antibiotics every time there is so much as a sniffle and surgery for just about everything including stomach alterations to lose weight and sadly, from the junk we put into our bodies. The antibiotics just breed super bugs, viruses and bacteria that are resistant to treatment with the same antibiotics that were first used against them. I won't get into the politics of all of this but if you have ever heard of dumbing down, then you will know what I am letting you in on.
A society can be controlled if they are oblivious to what is being done to them while the country is exploited by the rich corporations who also run the government. They make people think that chemical riddled, fat laden, sugared and preservative saturated food is good for you. More and more people, good people, are realizing this and hopefully will take a stand against what is being shoved down the throats of the citizens, food included, if you can call it that.
If you changed your diet tomorrow from the cheap fast food, food in boxes and cans, food that is advertised all over TV, billboards, and in magazines to whole food like fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, meat, fish, and whole 100% dairy, you wouldn't believe how good you would feel within a week. Secret is, if you make stuff from "scratch" and not get it out of a box or can, it really isn't more expensive in the long run. Experiment with getting the cheap stuff out of your diet and see if you don't feel better, sleep better, and think more clearly. I challenge you to feel better and have a better looking body based upon what you put into your mouth.
Answers: It's all about the ingredients. Sugar, fat, empty calorie food is very cheap indeed, it doesn't cost much therefore it is used in the food that is also cheap to make and sell. The production of non whole foods, in the US especially, is undermining the health of the residents.

usually cheap or fast food is cooked in oil that is high in fat and its not usually the choicest meats.
hope this helps
I know you can get a burger, small coke and small fry for $3 go to a deli and get a sandwich and a drink $6
Because good foods are made with love, and love these days is just $.
I think because the cheap food has alot of chemicals and preservatives which makes it easier for food companies to keep the bad food fresher for longer periods of time. Where the good food such as fresh fruit,vegetables,etc are more expensive because they don't keep as long as junk food does,because they don't have any artificial preservatives or artificial ingredients to keep them fresher.
Most of that has to do with supply and demand. What is in big demand becomes more expensive.
Did you know that most shoes only cost a few dollars to make and put in the market soooo why the huge disparity in costs? Supply and demand. What is more popular will become more expensive....
Some of it also has to do with the labor intensiveness of organic foods and such.
Due to bad food is usually made fast and with cheap products and healthy food is more costly and takes more preparations to make.
It's a conspiracy!! Food that is bad for you (fast food) is cheaper than healthier food, so more people buy it. The food makers know that, and make lots of $ by doing it.
