nah
junk food will ALWAYS be cheaper than whole food

I would argue that it can more expensive to eat junk than to eat healthy. I think the reason we feel that is because we compare eating whatever we want in junk food to eating whatever you want in whole food. It may he cheaper to by a Big Mac than to make one, but that's not the same thing as junk food overall being cheaper.

If we compare eating junk food with building a healthy diet around a base of things like rice, beans, lentils, etc and adding meat to it instead of centering meals around meat and adding things around that, healthy is cheaper. It's more work and less dopamine, but not more expensive.

So I would argue that it can be more expensive to eat healthy than to eat junk but it can also be cheaper to eat healthy than to eat junk. It depends on the choices you make.

Fruits vs a bag of chips
making a big mac at home its not junk food !!
good ground beef with good cheese and home made sauce this is a win in my book
but you have to put the work in and time is money (they say)

Everything we do now is fresh.Veggies are all steamed like broccoli, brussels sprouts and similar. No white anything, potatoes, pasta, rice and so on. We will have a sweet potato now and then. Tonight is ribeye, asparagus on the griddle and a salad. It’s hilarious, we were away for 4 days and didn’t eat great, no total crap. Couldn’t take my Friday shot because we weren’t home. Jumped on the scale this morning and had lost close to 2lbs. Took that shot this morning. Sorry for the hijack.
