why do people say healthy food is more expensive?
A carton of eggs costs me 2 bucks and a pound of rice costs me a buck

Rice isn't healthy.
Get beans instead.

They do their math on celery and lettuce from an overpriced store, because they've never tried healthy eating but imagine it means you shop at whole foods and share all your meals with your pet rabbit. Then they go back to eating the cHeaPeSt food ever invented, McDonalds sandwiches that don't even cost less than a $1.50 anymore.
People willfully ignore facts when it allows them to come to the decision they want to come to. When they say shitty food is cheaper, what they really mean is that it's the cheapest indulgent luxury in modern society. That's the value they're desperate to cling to.

Healthy also has to be tasty. And much cheaper than fast food. Oh and also it has to be super fast to make. Healthy Meals for the most part can be two things but not the third. Fast, Cheap, and Good. A meal can be fast and cheap, but it isn't going to be good. It can be fast and good, but it isn't going to be cheap. And lastly it can be good and cheap, but it isn't going to be fast. The impossible is achievable on an individual basis, like people who cum buckets over rice, eggs, beans, and bananas.

A big issue too is that the human body is so fucked and the mind is so undisciplined and hardwired for instant results that people just give up after a week. Let the faggots trying to kill beef and eventually all meat for Frankenstein meat die on the shitter before fifty. And let their fucking McNugget children die as well.

Fast cheap and tasty is possible at home if you try. Fast food has big economy of scale advantages, but a home cook also has an advantage of no wages, no overhead, and no time driving and waiting in line. Most fast food breakfast menus are a good example of something you should be able to easily humiliate at home. Mass produced meal prep shit can be particularly efficient if you don't overcomplicate it. Whether adding "healthy" to the mix is also possible, that's all individual taste and pickiness.

This doesn't explain Roy Rogers though. Where its fast, good and cheap. Also with the fixins bar, there is lots of it and customization.
