Yet you don't refute the actual point...

Yes I did. Your claim that "food insecure" means they can't afford to eat heathy is a lie because "food insecure" means nothing of value. It is such a broad term that everyone falls into it. It means nothing. It does not mean that those people can't afford to eat healthy. You can have the healthiest diet in the world and still be considered food insecure by that definition. Therefore the claim that lack of money is causing people to have poor diets in capitalist societies, and this data about food insecurity proves it, is wrong.

I have yet to see healthy food sold at a lower price than junk food

Compare the price of Lays potato chips to the price of potatoes. The potatoes cost less. Everywhere. You are wrong, and have never actually looked, or have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

Canbot's got a point there TheAmeliaMay. I can buy anything here in rural Oz cheaper if it's natural. Even meat! A kilo of steak is on average around $20 and a 400g can of crappy braised steak and onion is $4.50. I can assure you there is not even 200g of meat in that can, and what is meat certainly isn't all steak. It's mostly water in there mixed with an emulsifier.
