For a family of four, that works out to about $2K a year, and this is comparing what they call the "healthiest diets" to the "least healthy diets", implying there is some sort of in between that most people would likely eat (mostly healthy with some junk mixed in). I'd imagine the price difference is even less in those cases. For something that is so important to enjoying life in general (i.e. having a healthy body), I don't think that is a huge investment.
I think it's just another excuse and people like to trot out to rationalize their behaviour. |
Counterpoint:
This costs $8.

Nobody should ever eat this. ever. But its cheap, and presumably loaded with calories.
