It is you know
How much is a large sliced white pan ?
How much is a multi seed wholemeal sliced pan ?

I can't speak to British or Irish or European conditions, but in the USA it's not expensive to eat healthily if you eat a lot of beans and vegetables and whole grains, and you prepare your meals from scratch. What's more likely to be expensive is the cost of housing in areas with easy access to markets where you can buy such things. Amurica's a big expansive place and lots of poorer areas are de facto "food deserts" in which most of the close food options are less likely to be supermarkets (never mind farm stands) than convenience stores and fast food joints.

257 calories in a Big Mac, and it costs £4 or so. Kg of pasta is a quid. Can get some sauce, some pepper, tomato, and cucumber and still have both change left and enough for more meals from the ingredients.

Ironically for much of history white bread was something only the rich ever got to eat; brown bread (and especially brown bread with bits in it) was something for the poor (including eating ones dinner off it). However people then discovered that brown bread is healthier, so the price of that went up and white bread went down.

Im coming in late to this, but, is a Big Mac not classed as a luxury? Rather than a meal.

Vegetables are pretty cheap.

No protein as in chicken which was what was being discussed
Organic veg are dearer than frozen veg

Use the change to add some bacon lardons or some cheese. You also don't have the [Poor language removed] load of saturated fat.

You can get a whole chicken for £2.50 from Aldi. Sweet potato and peppers for £1.
