It is very expensive to eat healthy and to "go green"

The La Times reported, in a recent survey some would pay more for green PCs and TVs. I would as well. But that is not the point. The point is why? Why does it have to cost more money to "go green?" Why does it cost more to eat better and healthier foods? The hybrid car costs an average of $3000 more than the conventional car.

According to the Journal of Food and Science, "organic food is 10 to 40 percent higher in price than similair conventionally-produced products."

Why is it that you can spend 20 dollars in a grocery store like Publix and walk about with a lot of fruit and vegetables. On the other hand if you were to spend 20 dollars in a grocery store like Whole Foods Market you would only walk out with two or three fruits and vegetables.

Why can you get a meal for five dollars at Wendy's on their dollar menu?

It is so incredibly easy for people to be unhealthy and obese. In today's world it almost seems that companies want you to be obese? I don't really know, we live in a crazy world.
