That is an interesting point you made, because the price difference is a misconception.
Eating the cheap junk food only drives hunger even more, causing people to eat even more.
The paradox of healthy eating is that, despite it being more expensive, the food will fill you up to such an absurd degree that you will intuitively eat significantly less, resulting in a smaller food bill. The irony is that cheaply priced junk food is significantly more expensive.
From personal experience, I can comfortably subsist on a 48 hour fast if I eat ~6 dollars worth of meat. I would barely last 4 hours if I ate ~6 dollars worth of ultra processed garbage.
