I do not believe it is about price because cooking healthy food is cheaper if done correctly. Cooking with intention to eat leftovers is way cheaper then buying a frozen pizza or eating out.

People just do not know how to cook

I had a roommate in college that did not know that you had to flip bacon and others that did not know how to make good eggs.

It used to be that man killed and then cooked his own food. Then he digressed to buying meat, but still cooking. Now, many simply skip cooking as well. Maybe the next step is being bottle fed?

It's not just money. It's time. It's effort. Running around picking the kids up after their activities. It's easier to go the prepackaged/fast food route.

It's be great if everyone shopped to cook meals ahead of time and feast on leftovers. That's what I do, because I can cook and save some money that way. Many people apparently aren't able or willing to do that. So I offer the tax and tax elimination package to make the savings more worth the extra effort.

Make it even cheaper to eat healthy. More expensive to not. Tip the scales toward better eating.

If the current savings were actually worth it on healthier food, we wouldn't be staring down this obesity problem (though it's certainly not the only factor).
