Everything may be in a box, bag, or can (perhaps even frozen!) but that doesn't mean it's not healthy. Nor does availability of produce mean a particular individual is going to buy a (presumably healthy?) sack of apples over that (presumably unhealthy?) super sugary apple juice, or box of Apple Jacks cereal. Philosophically, man, humans weren't meant to have fresh produce of all kinds from all over the world year-round. That a lot of us do can be a nice luxury for some, but I think it'd be really hard to justify such a state as a necessary component of a healthy diet. I agree with you that budgeting sucks and is harder the less you have, though.
