Obviously all those other things I ignored matter a lot, but we have to first consider the bare costs, and if it is in fact cheaper to eat healthy then we can start looking to reasons like prep time, laziness, etc.

It's definitely more expensive to buy healthy foods and prepare meals from scratch vs. buying meals you prepare from a box.
