The “fact” that junk food is cheaper than real food has become a reflexive part of how we explain why so many Americans are overweight, particularly those with lower incomes. I frequently read confident statements like, “when a bag of chips is cheaper than a head of broccoli …” or “it’s more affordable to feed a family of four at McDonald’s than to cook a healthy meal for them at home.”
nice find. Also: I need to cook more often.

The above is 100% correct. There’s another reason why poor people don’t buy a whole lot of fresh items; they go bad...
