I do not agree with this. Most junk food are the cheapest. They provide the most energy for the least amount of cost. People can survive on this.

If bare "survival" was the issue, your post might have some merit. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The population in question has an alarmingly high obesity rate, which is strongly linked to diabetes, hypertension, renal failure, and a host of other problems that the taxpayer will be forced at gunpoint to cover. Energy intake is not an issue. Survival is quite easily maintained on a very cheap diet of healthy foods. As Dave Ramsey says, beans and rice, rice and beans.
