It's not too expensive until you buy organic, but many people live in areas that have no grocery store within a reasonable distance. These areas have been designated as "food deserts" by the USDA who keeps current maps covering the whole country. In these areas there may be numerous fast food restaurants, but no farmers markets, produce stands or even grocery stores. Some people clearly are unaware of this phenomenon which is in itself a shame.
It is in these areas that you are likely to find people actually complaining about the cost of fast food. This is not something that a guy walking to lunch a few times a week from his office would call a big concern.
It's FAR cheaper to buy your food raw and cook it. Now how about some solutions for when you have no available store to buy raw food in.
