> Eating healthy food _is_ costlier than not caring about what you eat. False. I started preparing pretty much all of my meals for health reasons and spend much less than I ever did before. When I didn't care and I bought what I craved or sounded good when I was hungry, I was spending close to 50%-60% more at the store. Prepared or processed foods are generally more expensive than others. Packaging, marketing etc are used to influence your purchasing decisions. Example: frozen sauteed broccoli: 2 servings -> $3.49 14oz frozen broccoli: ~5 servings -> $1.09 One serving of the former is more expensive than 5 servings of the latter. They're both healthy choices, but former is a product from a large company that put more into their packaging and preparation. I can throw the latter in pan with some garlic, butter or oil and accomplish the same or prepare them however I like. Still, a lot of processed foods at Whole Foods et al are still not 'good' for you. Organic carbs and Himalayan salt are still carbs and sodium.
