You'll hear a lot of apologists argue "that's because healthy food is more expensive!"
It's not. Really, it's not.

Do they know how cheap fruit is??? They're practically giving it away. You can buy a big sack of potatoes for hardly anything. Ground meat for $3.50/pound.
You can get a ton of meals out of buying a bag of rice and potatoes and beef and chicken.
Your meals would cost about $1 per person when you make it at home, so a family of 4 can eat a good dinner for under $5 TOTAL! If you go to McDonalds, you might be spending $7 per person. Might be $28 for a family of 4 for an unhealthy dinner.
Preparing your own healthy meals is WAYYYY cheaper than eating junk and fast food.
