Why are reduced calorie, low fat, and diet foods so expensive?!
Question: I was at the grocery store today and the prices on these foods are outrageous! Especially the 100 calorie treats from Hostess and Nabisco the prices are through the roof!
So why are "healthy" foods so much more expensive than junk foods? It's hard to grab a bag of Baked Lays for $3 when I can buy 2 bags of regular Lays for same price!

Hey i've never thought of it that way. I think healthy foods should totally be cheaper and the country's obiesity level would go down.
because stupid trendy people are willing to pay it
like why are brand name pants so expensive? its not because they are worth it
Because they're in demand, companies can get away with it. Society is told that we should eat these things, so we do. Humans make such lovely little pets.
Because putting in the flavors and spices into diet food to make it taste better than styrofoam cost $$. Whereas sugar is fairly cheap in comparison.
Because they know we diet-obsessed people are willing to pay in order to lose weight :(
By the way, try Lays Light! It's fat free :) 490 cals for the whole bag
their taking the "healthy" lable as a gimick to get more money off smaller pakegs just go with regular stuf and modarate your self
The 100 calorie treats are just a divided serving placed into seperate bags for people that are too lazy to seperate and control their serving themselves. Save money and buy the normal size and dont scarf down the whole box. Problem solved.
to take advantage of people who want to loose weight. thats the government for you, telling you something is bad but making VERY expensive to get rid of it so you have to resort to drastic measures that are unhealthy. making you go to the hospital to pay them even more money.
i think its because they think they help peoples health i to think its rediculous i mean if you eat to much of the healthy food it can still be fattening
I know, they feed the obesity problem in the US.
You should try this site... www.thedailyplate.com
Using this I have lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks. I am not kidding either. It is a real find. I had been having a hard time losing weight, and finding great things to eat when all I had to do was eat smaller portions of my normal food...and I eat all day long.
I hope you try it.
It's a conspiracy to keep poor people overweight.
That's called marketing. They try to make us believe we need this product for some entirely irrational reason and we buy it (the reason) then they charge two prices for the product and we buy that too.. How stupid is that?
Because they know you'll pay for it... If people are willing to pay $3 bucks for that bag of Baked Lays, then you can't blame them...
Health is very improtant but very expensive.My mom is on a diet and has to pay 300 dollars a month.I believe it is very expensive because everyone believes they should pay more to be healthy.I disagree with this just as much as you do resources on google
because ppl buy them. its better to just go to the produce section and stay away from the selves.
This is because healthy foods are protieneous.It contains all the nutrients which are very much needful to our body.And protenious foods are too expensive.
