Dietists: you should eat a lot of vegetables and little processed meats
Economists: the market will adapt to the people and overall create more welfare
The market: tomatoes at 4€/kg, hot dogs at 2.50€/kg
This things should be regulated
This is harmful for people with little money, since they'll prefer cheaper processed food
Sure, you can get potatoes, onions and carrots for cheap, but you should base your full diet on those.
While I do not like the idea of a paternalistic government, I also don't like the idea that poor people are basically forced to eat unhealthy food.
I'd like to see high taxation on meats and processed food to subsidize vegetables and legumes
It would be nice to have vegetables provided for free by the government, this would help in improving everyones health
@PandKate
I live in Spain now, sure this is a bit of a provocation, you can find some cheaper tomatoes.
Despite this, vegetables are quite expensive.
And this is Spain, one of the European countries with the cheapest vegetables...
@rastinza now that I think about it, I don't pay so little for cherry tomatoes. 😅perhaps another type of tomatoes is cheaper
@rastinza tomatoes 4euros/kg? Where are you from?
