I have a hard time believing this.
Anecdotally, I can get veggies for several meals for less than a bag of potato chips.

Where are you getting your produce?? I can no longer afford the Whole Foods i used to buy, being that most have dam near doubled in price (and some almost tripled) heavily processed trash consumables are wayyyy cheaper.

In my experience you just have to buy what's in season.
E.g. veggies harvested in early spring are going to be expensive in the middle of winter.
I go to local produce markets, they mostly only stock what's in season

A bit of googling shows it's not just my area.
Average prices:
Zucchini - $1.54/lb
Broccoli - ~$2/lb
Tomatoes - $2.23/lb
Corn on the cob - ~$0.50/lb (though really we should account for the cob weight)
Whole potatoes - $0.95/lb
Bone in chicken legs - ~$2/lb
And junk food:
Potato chips - $2.98/10.5oz
Big Mac - $5.17
