Have you ever noticed?

Have you ever noticed that Junk food seems to cost LESS than the healthier versions?? Or is this just where I go shopping. No wonder why society goes to Taco Bell etc. It's fast, easy to get, no cleanup, and it's DIRT CHEAP!! Grocery stores will charge an arm and a leg for a pint of Blueberries and a pound of Turkey Breast; but you can get a bag of frozen burritos cheaper. They sell the Family Size boxes of the Pepperoni Hot Pockets; but none of the Lean Pockets with the Cheese and Broccoli. Orange juice is pricey, and so is cereal. Check out the smoothie prices too. No wonder the breakfast hour at McDonalds and Burger King is so popular. In the checkout lanes; candybars are always on sale; like 2 for a dollar. But the healthy bars are never on sale.

Grocery stores need to prioritize here. Healthy customers are happy customers. Happy customers bring in more business. High prices on "healthy food" is a huge contributer to the "Obesity" Epidemic in the world. I know everyone doesnt want to eat healthy all the time; but even a little here and there wouldnt hurt.
