Yeah, that line of thinking that healthy food is more expensive is retarded.

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.
