The basics of supply and demand is that if more people eat healthy food, healthy food can be priced lower. I would rather that than to sell people garbage that is creating a massive societal cost.

I wasn't an economics major so please correct me if I'm wrong, but if more people eat healthy food that would mean demand for healthy food increases. If demand goes up and the supply stays the same then prices theoretically would increase.
