I'm not advocating for either one in this post. However, I note that my local nutrition center is offering $35 off on a 30 day supply of something or another right now while the fast food joints are posting signs extolling their under-a-buck menus.
It's also not unusual to find a price premium of 50% or more when the supermarket section is labled "health," "organic" or "diet" as opposed to plain old food, processed or otherwise.
