Heh, well, fresh vegetables is what I imagine when thinking of vegetables. Yeah, I'm too vague on here.

It's become a load of crap just because it is a trend. Decades ago it wasn't crap, it was groovy good stuff.

Thanks to some new FDA regulation (don't remember exactly when it was/will be passed), standards of organic will be lowered so that organic will be cheaper, which accomplishes nothing for the actual quality of the food. It's just a scam to make people feel good about what they're buying and to be willing to pay more for it.

It's too bad but unavoidable in today's economies.

FRESH vegetables maybe. There's a variety of healty foods out there that are preserved and cheaper. Cheeses, canned soups, veggies, meats, etc. I'm a poor college student and if you try you can subist on a little over a $100 a month, and eat pretty well if you know how to cook. Luckily I do. Maybe they should focus on Home Ec in high school

Oh, and the whole "Organic" thing is a bunch of crap. It's a niche market for trendy people who feel guilty or are paranoid about chemicals.

Organic stuff costs more because it takes more money to grow it without pesticide- I think.

Junk food uses whatever is that makes it tastes good, which is probably disgusting and I don't really want to know.

Besides- would I rather drink Milk- or Soy milk?

Most definetely milk.

almost all healthy foods are more expensive. It's just harder, more expensive, and time consuming to create those products. Such as the McDonald's hamburger meat. It's almost all fat. Why? It tastes good and it's cheap. A healthier burger that has actual meat is going to cost more. The same goes for foods like Kosher.

Bread and butter actually is healthy. It's just eating too much butter too often that can be harmful.

It's foods like the liquid "butter" that is served on popcorn in movie theatres that is often cancerous and whatnot. And it's cheaper than actual butter.

I don't like healthy food cause it tastes like crap, I bleive in eating good food(as in taste) and if that can coincide with healthy that's great but I am not takin butter of my bread

Junk food is cheaper than vegetables and other healthier foods. It's not a matter of opinion.
