Reply from kels, Age 17 - 08/15/05 - IP#: 63.77.244.xxx well ed is sort of right, but junk food is purchased much much more often than health foods, which is why the prices can be lower, since we buy them more often. the fact that they are sometimes more expensive shouldnt be a good reason for you to be over weight. if you shop carefully & save coupons, you can purchase fresh produce at a lower price. you can also buy canned fruits and veggies which are also good for you. and, fruits and veggies fill you up faster and longer than juck food so you wont eat as much of it

Reply from Ed, Age 15 - 08/14/05 - IP#: 64.12.116.xxx I too have noticed this. It's simply because the unhealthy foods are made by machine in a factory while the healthy foods have to be picked by hand or machine, which takes longer, and time is money. So the convienient things, such as cookies, candy, etc. cost less then something like apples, oranges, grapes.
