Why are healthy foods so expensive and junk food so cheap?!
nfd?
Answers: I think the "powers to be" really want us to be unhealthy! More money for doctors, lawyers, hospitals, etc.

Kinda sounds like a... conspiracy. The well-to-do can afford organic foods while a double-cheese is only a buck... I found myself with only $2 in change today and that's what I had for lunch... :P
Beacuse junk food are bad for u while healthy food are good for you. So americans want u to get bad stuff. they make healthy foods expensive so u dont really want that
They're not really more expensive. You just have to shop well. Rice and beans are very reasonable - and very healthy. Eggs are only like 20-30 cents each. Whole grain bread costs the same as white bread. If you're going to be on the road, a peanut butter sandwich and an apple or orange are easy to take along.
Vegetables in season are not expensive - you can eat fresh fruits inexpensively, too. It's not about cost - it's about choices.
Because so many,many people are trying to eat healthy & lose weight!
well healthy foods are real, and actually grow. Junk is cheap to make its just stuff that people dont use so they add it in because its cheap and tastes good
junk food is so easy to produce that it cost less. you could say the government is trying to weed out the poor by giving them health problem but i suppose that is a little far fetched.
processed foods are easier to produce and take less to ship. organic takes more effort and most is made on the coast,making it expensive to deliver.
very good question. However, we need to take responsibility for what we consume. Government is not at fault when we as a society decide to no longer gather around the breakfast and dinner table to eat a balanced meal. we choose to live a lifestyle so crammed with things that we no longer have time to sit and enjoy a sensible meal, so we go to fast food chains for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Then we wonder why we start having health problems, and clothes don't fit us. We are a nation of Instant gratification. we teach these same things to our children. go figure, why we are an obese society. Then we fuss about working out and exercising....
good answer gbcopy
