It's not really cheaper so much as it is 'easier' and better advertised than the healthy food.
If you've got some basic cooking skills (which you can pick up without to much trouble from the internet), a standard apartment style kitchen, about 40~ dollars worth of cooking implements and around an hour and a half to spend every day prepping and cooking food then it's cheaper to eat healthy than anything else.
Problem is, if you want someone else to prepare you a healthy well balanced diet then yeah, you have to spend more than if you want someone else to prepare you a bunch of empty calories.
for example looking at my dinner tonight it basically consists of
sea salt shaker $4.30, 250 servings, $0.02
uncooked Udon noodles, $3.50, 12 servings, $0.30 per serving
Egg's $2, 12 servings, $0.15
mushrooms 1.50, 4 servings $0.37 per serving
Green onion, 0.10, 2 servings, $0.05 per serving
Gourmet chicken broth, $3.00, 30 servings, $0.10 per serving.
overall cost per serving, $0.90
As for the implements I used I've got
cheap knife, 1 dollar - dollar tree, used to dice up the onion and slice the mushrooms
small cutting board, 2.50 - walmart, used to dice up the onion and slice the mushrooms
small pot, 2 dollars - grocery outlet, used to boil the egg.
large pot, 5 dollars - good will, used to cook the noodles and the soup.
large wooden spoon, 50 cents - good will, used to stir the pot.
Chopsticks, free, food court in the mall, used to eat the food.
Bowl, 1 dollar, dollar tree, used to serve food.
a small burner and a large burner that came with my apartment.
In the end I ate some noodles that were a lot healthier, and a bit more filling than the dollar bowl of noodles that I used to get when I first started college. I spent about 3 minutes prepping the food and the kitchen, and it took ~30 minutes to cook the full meal during which time I watched TV and relaxed. this is a meal I was able to make without having to consult a youtube video or recipie either but is rather mostly just made from left over **** I have I had laying around since we had stir fry a bit back.

italianfrosttroll ONLINE (01/11/2016) [-] That's not true. Go look at the price per ounce of beef/chicken, rice, and non fancy veggies, compared to ****** snack foods. That is a lie we tell ourselves to make ourselves feel justified in our crappy habbits.

traceirving (01/12/2016) [-] I don't think that's the main reason people think this way, people lying to themselves. It's pretty easy to be fooled into thinking ****** foods are cheaper, I used to think that way when I started uni.
