oh, things liek this really get me! i agree that whole foods and healthfood stores seem expensive. this article deatils the cost of eating, calorie-per-calorie "health food" such as veggies and fruit, in place of twinkies or ppizza. sure, you get way more calories in twinkies. also you get more chemicals and artificial colors and polysaturated fats and other things our bodies don't love. i understand that poorer households have a less healthy diet and buy more of this "un-healthful" food. but how do we address this? how do we make people realize that buying beans and lentils and whole grains in bulk is actually very chep? and very healthy? how can we make healthy food a prioirty for all people, rather than percieved as a luxury for the welathy?
