As the argument goes, cheap, processed, mass-produced food is bad for your health, and bad for society. But at a time when people are trying to spend less on everything, paying more for anything (even healthy food) is a hard sell. Should the food we eat be better quality, and cost more? If so, who decides, and who should pay for it?

If food does get more expensive, it’d probably be a lot harder to eat on $15 a week or $50 a week, let alone $1 a day.
