How do you eat healthy when healthy food is so expensive? This is my question today. So many people in the United States are over weight or have diabetes. I think the cause of this is the cost of healthy food. You can go to a fast food place and eat off the dollar menu. My husband and i often go to Wendy's our favorite or McDonald's to have lunch off the dollar menu. In the grocery store you can buy cheap TV dinners for as low as 88 cents. Snack foods are so much more cheaper than healthy food. I think the government should maybe do something so you can buy healthy food for cheaper and make unhealthy food more expensive.
Families with kids and seniors on low income tend to buy what is cheapest that they can afford. Plus the advertisements on TV is always showing sweets, fast food, and all the fat foods. We really need to do something so we can turn around the obesity and diabetes in this country. Comments Please.

I couldn't agree more! We need to eat more fruits and veggies but for one, they are too expensive and for two, half the time, when we do buy it, alot of it is spoiled inside the packaging. We don't eat out as often as we used to. I think there needs to be stronger regulations on food safety as well.
