The bottom line is that if you want to eat healthy you can. Trust me. I live in the highest cost of living state on the country, and fruit and veggie prices are through the roof. I also took a 25% pay cut in January. Times have been tough, but I still manage to buy healthy foods. I've had to cut back on other things, but sacrificing entertainment for health is a good trade off.

I eat healthy. But it's mostly because I cook my own meals. And I didn't learn how to shop at a grocery store until 3 years ago, when I followed a plan that only allowed for a certain amount of carbs, protein, dairy, etc.... Only then did I really know what I was doing.
It's not easy for someone who has to choose between a million fad diets (many of which are complete scams), who doesn't realize that there are better ways to work out than running all the time, and who doesn't have time to read every label/cook their own meals.
