I don't know, is processed food really that cheap compared to decent food in the US?
I've been wondering about the cost of the one against the other myself, because I'm both on a budget and on a diet. Thing is, I find it cheaper to buy fresh food, than it would be to buy prepackaged meals. (while I would have said the opposite before I started actually buying fresh vegetable and meat.)
Watching food revolution I guess I had two shocks. One, the kid actually getting breakfast at school and two, the idea that anyone, and I do mean anyone, would consider Pizza breakfast food.
Even when I was at boarding school, breakfast was bread with what's the word, meat, cheese and or jam or choco. The idea of warm food for breakfast, unless it's eggs or french toast is plain out alien to me. Even pancakes was an evening food, not breakfast. But pizza? That's just crazy.
