Q&A: health food ???

Question by tara b: health food ???
Why are healthy, natural foods such as veggies and fruits so damn expensive, but the super fattenening burgers and fries are on the dollar menu??? If you are not near home and it’s lunch time. You figure you’ll run through Mcd’s drive thru and a salad is $ 5 but a double cheeseburger is only a dollar. Or you call up a local family restaurant and ask how much a salad is…$ 7 for a salad. Yet a burger and fries is only $ 4. WHY IS THIS???? I mean if the majority of Americans are overweight, why shouldn’t the food industry lower the price of healthy choices???

Answer by emilybarrington
burgers, chicken nuggets, fries…. alll mass produced out of gross parts of animals and frozen. they keep for forever and are cheap to make. salad ingredients need to be fresh AND look fresh, no one wants wilted or browing lettuce, plus none of that stuff keeps for very long, they probably waste alot.
