i literally went for a checkup today and they advised me to eat more fruits. if its so healthy it should be more affordable. especially as a growing young adult, apart from vegetables fruits are the only good snack that I can eat. but how am I supposed to afford it on my own? we eat junk good because it's cheaper. it shouldnt be.

Exactly my point. Chips are sold way cheaper than fruits, while it should be the other way around

While some call it conspiracy theory, I believe this theory could be true. Maybe it is not simple as it appears on the surface level. System want us to spend more be it on groceries or healthcare

This was such an interesting read! 😂 It’s fascinating how a simple trip to buy fruits turned into an entire investigation of the healthcare and food industries. The fruit bill of ₹430 was clearly the villain of this story! While I agree that nutritious food should be affordable and accessible to everyone, I think we might be giving the fruit seller a little too much credit for triggering an economic conspiracy theory. 😂 Sometimes inflation is the culprit, not a secret meeting between fruit sellers and pharmaceutical companies. Nevertheless, the bigger point is worth thinking about: good health shouldn’t feel like a luxury that only a few can afford. ❤️

Unfortunately my friend, you missed the point. Fruit seller has no part in it, I am referring to the system. Natural resources are made expensive so that we get easy access to artificially made ones that make us sick
