I've heard that said, it is more expensive to eat well unfortunately. I think another issue is most people (including me) are too lazy to prepare their own food most of the time. If you cook all your own meals from scratch eating healthily shouldn't cost significantly more, but there is the time commitment.
Lucky, meat is a bit of a crap shoot for us usually just get the best we can at Wegmans. I just started a fairly high paying job so maybe we can afford to buy organic or get meat from the public market in the near future.
I like coffee too, idt it's bad for you as long as it's black.
It just occurred to me that I had never experienced real hunger before I didn't really then either to be fair.

I've been to quite a few of them and found their prices definitely higher. Whether they are really any good or not, I'm not certain enough to justify the higher price.
No two ways about it. Eating healthy is going to cost more in money and time. If you can't afford it, that's life. You get what you paid for. Consider this. They make a profit off a $1 McChicken. So using that price, what will it cost you to raise the chicken to see that it is done the way you want and to cook it the way it should be cooked? What is the cost time wise? Sorry but if you can't run with the big dogs, don't get off the porch.
I don't know about Wegman's but Wal*Mart meat is cheaper than the other supermarket chains and definitely the butcher BUT the quality isn't there. Sometimes cooking it, there is a rancid smell. Cheap, good and fast? As the Meatloaf song goes, "2 out of 3 ain't bad".
In moderation, you can do a lot of eating. In excess, even water will kill you.
To me that is like setting a goal of an alcoholic pledging not to drink alcohol for 24 hrs. Easy, relatively speaking compared to when you don't know when your next drink is.
