    Eating healthy is privileged. It’s actually cheaper to eat healthy vegan than healthy omnivorous. Of course unhealthy and environmentally destructive stuff is extremely cheap because McDonald’s are everywhere.

      Maybe US is very different from Europe, but think it depends what someone expects of food.

      McDonald is not food. So it’s not for comparing with real food. But even than I can not imagine potatos and peas cost more than anything in McD. less thah a pond of peas and 100ml of olive oil must be less than 5usd, add few tomatos and you have a great meal.

        A small bag of potatoes costs 7-10 dollars, and fresh peas are ridiculously expensive so most people just buy frozen ones. Tomatoes are also about 50 cents/1 dollar each. Olive oil is also very expensive but can be found for relatively cheap if you look hard enough.

        This isn’t possible in food deserts though. THERE IS NO FOOD other then McDonalds. Simply none. Nothing.

          7-10 dollars for a small bag of potatos

          Jesus fucking christ a kilogram of tatos in Poland costs like 2 to 4 zł. 💀

          How much weight do you get in a “small” bag?

            5 pounds is considered a small bag (if you’re not getting the fancy potatoes) and that’s about 2.3 kilos.

            On sale you can get that bag around 5 dollars. Sometimes they drop to 3 dollars and I try to buy as much as I can.

              Jesus that’s a fortune for potatos… Especiallt considering your minimum wage and the minimum wage in Poland. It’s a huge difference.
