No ones getting emotional, however saying that phrase is a common tactic of people who are arguing in bad faith.

However, I'll entertain your "BUT- BUY SOURCE? SOURCE ? PEER-REVIEWD SOURCE PL0X" since you clearly don't know how to use a search engine.

Over the three years since 2019, the cost of food and drinks has escalated, particularly in the most recent year, with the prices of healthy foods and drinks increasing at almost double the rate of increase in prices of unhealthy items.

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/12/27/healthy-foods-are-often-more-expensive-heres-why.html

“The data very clearly says, there is this fixed high cost for fresh fruit and vegetable, which is not there for other products,” Thijs Van Rens, one of the authors of the Warwick study told CNBC

https://extension.usu.edu/nutrition/research/does-healthy-eating-cost-more

A recent study found that following the MyPlate Dietary Guidelines would cost a family of four between $1,000-$1,200 a month ($12,000.00-$14,400 annually) depending on the age of the family members and the percentage of fruits and vegetables that were fresh, frozen, and canned (Mulik & Haynes-Maslow, 2017). For a comparison, the average middle income family in the United States spends roughly $6,224 on food each year with the average low income family spending even less at roughly $3,862 per year (USDA, 2017). With this information in mind, following these recommendations may not be feasible for the typical family.

And just for good measure let's throw it back to you. I would love to see a source on how junk food is more expensive than vegetables in countries where obesity is an epidemic. That means no countries that actually tax processed foods to make the healthier option more affordable.

Edit: and you think Im not going to go out and find the sources? Dumbass.
