Why is brown rice more expensive than white rice? Whole grain bread more than white bread? Low fat meats more than meats with all the fat? Seriously. I want to know why it is more expensive to eat healthy?

Because there isn't as much supply as far as those items are concerned.

Whole grain bread costs more because, although there is no shortage of wheat, there isn't a whole lot of other stuff in the bread that is normally used to cut the amount of wheat needed. There aren't a bunch of fillers or preservatives.

Low fat meat?? Look around for a store in your area that has it's own meat counter/butcher shop rather than bringing the meat in by the truckload. You'll be able to pick the cuts you want and you won't pay more for one that has a lower fat content.
