Healthy food

In food courts, a cup of Coke costs $1+; a cup of freshly squeezed fruit juice costs $2+.

In supermarkets, a loaf of soft white bread costs $1.40; a loaf of wholegrain bread "enriched with vitamins and minerals" and endorsed by the Healthier Choice logo costs around $2.

In wet markets, a huge bunch of bananas that looks to expire within a day is going at $1; a bunch of bananas that looks otherwise costs, well, depending on its weight but definitely more than $1.

At hawker centres, to add a few more strands / leaves of vegetables to a bowl of noodles costs an extra $0.50.

In organic shops (assuming organic food is "healthier" than non-organic ones) a bitter gourd costs $8. A non-organic one definitely costs a substantial percentage less than that!


So, has the privilege to eat healthy food been reserved to the better off only?

This does not make any sense to me. Everyone should be encouraged to eat healthily and we should be doing more than making consumers pay more for healthy food.
