Me and the other half were discussing last night at how expensive it is to prepare and cook healthy meals from scratch.
Now obviously there are cheaper ways of doing this, ie bags of frozen veg, cheap frozen chicken and turkey etc. But buying fresh produce twice a week lets say, such as peppers, onions, aubergines, courgettes, salad stuff (tomatos, cucumbers etc) does cost a fair bit. Then you have your fresh fruit ontop of that.
Its no wonder that when we get local kebab / fast food menus posted through our door, and you can get 'family deal' meals for £12.99 which include 2 large pizzas, fries and coke that more and more people are becoming lazy and choosing the easy option. Its delivered to your door, there's no washing up and is a similar cost.
Microwave meals are another one. Quite a few supermarkets now do 5 for £4. Again another easier, cheaper kop out.
Im sure you can see where im coming from with this. The population is generally getting fatter, in my opinion due to convienance and the cheap cost of unhealthy food, vs the more expensive cost of healthy eating.
