I agree with the notion that it has more to do with laziness than anything else. There are plenty of good foods that are cheap... but not a whole lot of good foods that are ready-to-eat. If you watch the food network, you'll see that 90% of the meals cannot be prepared in 3-steps or less.
Also, I hate to say it... but it also has a lot to do with marketing and packaging. There are lots of commercials for fast food and junk food... but when was the last time you saw a commercial for apples or bananas? These lower-income families fall victim to that marketing because they essentially don't know any better.
Education of proper dieting is the first step. Someone needs to teach these families exactly how they can stretch their income further and receive proper nutrition by doing the extra planning and preparation by eating healthier foods.
