It's been like that for centuries. Healthier food costs more than unhealthy food. That's why poor people have a lower life expectancy than their rich counterparts.

You seriously think all people are equal and/or should be treated equally and/or should have equal outcomes? Ha.

I don't get this. The cost of a stir fry with rice or a pasta with fresh sauce is going to be less or close to any processed meal and the preparation time is of the order of 15m or less.

Are fresh vegetables insanely expensive where you're from?

Freshly prepared food is more expensive for all sorts of reasons than shelf-stable, highly-processed junk food. To buy fresh vegetables, you need to be able to shop frequently. To prepare fresh food, you need the time and energy to cook plus the skills and equipment plus a kitchen.

I don't think you need fresh vegetables. Frozen vegetables should provide much of the same without the need to shop as often.

This is only true if you're uneducated. Buying food can be both cheap and healthy if you make good choices.
