Healthy food being affordable is not a counter argument to unhealthy food being affordable.
Think about it like this. In your typical grocery store, what is the ratio of healthy to unhealthy foods? Which receives more marketing: healthy or unhealthy foods? You could never enter a grocery store and live off of Taco Bell and gas station foods (which you will be more likely to find in a low income area than a grocery store). What's the ratio of healthy to unhealthy foods in those places? If you were never introduced to meal planning growing up, which option sounds more affordable: $5 dinner today ready to go or $10 of more food than you need for tonight that goes bad quickly and involves extra work?

If I should be thinking about this some other way please actually say so instead of being passive aggressive with these kinds of useless posts

You should try understanding other people pointing out that there's more to life than your personal experience instead of just dismissing them as useless.
