When you go grocery shopping and are counting every penny you will buy the cheapest. Go clip some coupons and see what they offer(processed foods). You will never find coupons for fruit, vegetables, and most meats. It's just the bad stuff and at 50 cents to $1.00 off and if it's double coupon day, forget it, that is what is going to go first because it's cheap.

But you can eat cheaply and healthy you just need to find the right place. If you think about it a value meal at McDonalds is no less than $5 and you are left feeling hungry and tired an hour later. My usual lunch under $5 and healthy: I can go to a local market (i.e. Randazzo) and get a hearty salad for 2-3 dollars (you pay by the pound). They have a salad buffet that has many healthy selections and you make your own. They even have meats to add for protein if you would like. I sometimes will supplement with a small roll that you can pay for individually, under $1, if that. I then bring my own water bottle, yes out of the tap, NOT bottled. The tap water is safe and the least expensive drink around. And there it is cheap and healthy. I feel fuller longer and less tired when I eat a hearty salad than when I eat a meal for McDonalds. It is in fact CHEAPER! This is a great article and I completely agree that people do abandon their healthy diets to eat cheaply.
