Right, it is cheap. But on a realistic level it is not cheaper than eating healthy. My brother has 3 kids. If he takes he, his wife and their 3 kids to McDonalds or Taco Bell it ends up costing them around $40-$45 by the time they are done. He makes pretty good money and they only do this a few times a month, but there are people that do this every day and think they are saving money on food. It adds up quickly and if you bought it every day you could spend the same or less at the grocery store and buy good food that is healthy for you.
