Healthy Foods

Our society today is full of overly obese people and children. Everybody is trying to lose weight, exercise, and eat right, but nobody said it would be cheap. I understand why so many people are overweight, because healthy food is too expensive. Our society is not that rich and there are plenty of people who are living in poverty and can't afford the right food to help them be healthy. I understand the reason why healthy foods are so expensive, because they are mostly fresh produce. Anything fresh is going to cost more, and I think if it cost less then people would be healthier. If the farmers would charge less or cut better deals so people can afford their food, then our society would be on a better track. Eating the right foods, and being healthy go hand in hand, but if you can't buy the right foods then people are going to keep going to fast food places. Unless all the fast food places only serve healthy foods, then our society is not going to change and if anything it may get worse. Something needs to change and I think cheaper, healthier foods is the best way to start.
