137. Healthy food IS more expensive. You're right.
I don't know why some are so stubborn and refuse to admit this. I guess it is because it doesn't fit into their worldview of "fat are lazy and/or stupid".

Healthy food isn't just more expensive overall, but it takes more time to prepare. Time that poor people tend not have as much of. Working 2-3 walmart and mcjobs doesn't leave much time for cooking from scratch, which is almost always more healthful.
