Why is good food more expensive than poverty foods like wheat?
Foods low in protein and vitamins need less nitrogen fertilizer. Low mineral foods need less mineral fertilizer. Foods without complex nutrients grow faster and have higher yields. Foods without fragile vitamins, proteins, and oils, are much cheaper to process and distribute. Sure, white bread is really cheap. But all you get is diabetic calories and a ground-up, government-issue vitamin pill. You get what you pay for.
