Guest guest Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 I think it's messed up how healthy food seems to be more expensive than junk food. Maybe it's because the farmers need the money. Dunno though. Maybe it's just America telling us they don't want us to be healthy and that they want us to be overweight.

More then likely it's because the food industry knows that people that want to eat healthy food are willing to pay more. ~Janice~ Be your own cheerleader! Encourage yourself every step of the way!

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 veggies, legumes, fruits, etc. cost more to grow than like wheat, sugarcane, or corn; which is what most " junk food " is made of. but then again, meat is even cheaper only because greedy politicians continue to subsidize it. and of course they pay farmers NOT to grow soy. baked beans is one of the cheaper vegetarian foods, but shopping for them can be a pain.. Bush has like 10 varieties with bacon in them and only one meatless option. Just think that, the more money we give to health food companies, the cheaper their prices in the future will be.. maybe.. i hope. either way I wouldn't put a price on my health. , VaMpYrEsS JeSsIkA <xxx_vampyress_jessika_xxx> wrote: > That could be it too. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
