The absurdity in that is that the real difference between healthy food and unhealthy food is how it is prepared. It's not a huge price difference to substitute apple sauce for oil in a cake, for example. It might be a little more pricey to use egg beaters instead of eggs. In my grocery store though, a bottle of dressing of one brand is the same price whether it's fat free or not. Same with sour cream. Are beans truly more expensive than meat? I don't think so. It's not any cheaper to serve fried chicken than broiled, or grilled or broiled burgers instead of fried. It takes a little water to rinse off your beef when you are making taco meat, reducing the fat tremendously. Since I've been making a point to eat healthier foods, I spend less money, truth be told.
