Whereas if you actually shop for food at a supermarket, healthy food is cheaper
Things must be different over there because this isn't the case in the US. I used to break down our grocery bill into the different categories and it never failed the fruits and vegetables section of our bill was often a full 50%. Now, part of that is probably because we eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, but when a single red or orange pepper is $2.50 and I can buy a family size bag of chips for $1 to $2, it's a pretty glaring disparity.
Oh, it is definitely different here. The US is a food anomaly in the world I think - likely due to the "benefits" of profit at any cost. Fresh food is relatively cheap in Europe, compared to all the packaged crap. But, if you look at pure energy, it is far cheaper to buy the bag of chips, but it doesn't have much of anything else in there but energy.
Yes, it definitely sounds opposite there.
