Why is eating healthy so expensive??

You would think you'd get a break, beings you're trying to stay away from doctors rather than be on all sorts of meds for chloresterol, high blood pressure, obesity, etc. But it's the exact opposite. For what I just spent on healthy foods, I could have my entire pantry cram full of all the bad stuff ffs.

Because eating healthy you have to avoid all the processed stuff, and they sell the process and bad stuff because it's cheaper for them, and they're all about profits.

Also, I'm still trying to learn about "enriched" foods, as supposedly it was good for us (which is why they did it), but I'm seeing a lot of people suggesting it's actually bad, because of the added chemicals...

And supposedly eating pasta in Italy is so much different than eating pasta in USA because of the enrichment process and people feel better after Italy vs in the USA.
