Healthy food does not cost more and comparing them by calories is restrictive.
If you use the satiety factor, it is possible to eat healthy and spend less. For example, eat oatmeal instead of sugary cereals for breakfast, eat bananas as snacks instead of chips or others, eat beans or brown rice instead of hamburgers for lunches and dinners. Drink water instead of buying diet or sugar beverages. All these (oatmeal, bananas, beans) are healthier and not necessarily more expensive.
- humanrebar 10y agoYou're not factoring in costs in attention, logistics, and (for many people) willpower. "I'm hungry. The bananas are black and we ran out of oatmeal Tuesday. Do I want to do some chores (cook) and then eat rice and beans in an hour or do I want to get a double cheeseburger on sale?" Drinking water and eating less is (for most Americans) much healthier and much cheaper, though.
