This may not read the same for someone who grew up with a well to do family or lifestyle.

Well to do or not surely doesn't change that buying basic foodstuffs must be cheaper than buying a processed meal?

Might be an American thing. Cheap frozen pizza is $1.50. One pound of ground beef is $4.50, and that’s definitely not what someone would call a balanced meal. Still more expensive than the fast, processed meal, and that’s before everything else you’d have to get to make it part of a healthy meal.

Oh I got you, that's not what I implied at all. Tho I must emphasize the term "healthy diet", which is entirely subjective.., and what will truly drive you forward, is working towards being able to afford a healthy diet before material possessions, as a healthy diet fuels better mindsets. I apologize for the misinterpretation on my part.
