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.

I’m diabetic, so a lot of foods will harm me. There are fancy expensive diabetic foods on the market. Ignore them.
It’s more expensive to make my own soup, but it does not have salt and additives. Bulk cheap fillers like bread and potatoes are out. Cheap processed meat is out, so I have to go for more expensive oily fish and white meat.

Exercise is a must. But I go for a run instead of joining a fancy gym.
