Oh, I get it. Sugar is everywhere, but eventually a lot of things we eat, carbs, fruits, break down into sugars. So, if you're essentially talking refined sugar, it's definitely hard to get away from, but definitely not the only thing to be concerned with.
So, as far as prices go, are you saying it's not an issue of supply and demand? I would imagine there's many times more people reaching for the happy meal rather than the broccoli, simply out of convenience and taste—and, unfortunately, fast food prices aren't what they used to be either. Can't hardly eat much for under $10 anymore.
But I get what you're saying. Healthy food should be cheaper and easier to acquire, whatever 'healthy' ends up being defined as.
I think healthy food also costs more to get to your table than say a mass produced burger from from McDonald’s. I think it’s a shame that not everybody has the ability to eat processed free.
Yes sugar is in everything and carbs plus fruits break down into sugar indeed. The fruits are at least natural sugars but flours and such are pretty processed. I went on a Veggies and fish diet for 6 months and saw so much improvement in various areas but it just wasn’t sustainable for me. The carbs are an important part of energy fuel and it feels good to be back with them. Now if I can only stay away from those vegan Oreos. Dang it. Did you know Oreos are vegan? 😋. I didn’t until several months ago and now we always have them in the fridge. It’s been our kryptonite 🤦🏼♀️
