I make my own sauces which is more time consuming than buying something ready made and I don't use tinned food. We also don't eat meat more than a couple of times a week but I tend to cook pork belly or beef mince. We do eat a lot of cheese dishes and I do make a couple of pies a week with full butter pastry.
I mean compared to junk here, not sure if its different in France. When you compare say..the price of a few different kinds of veg, some potatoes and some fresh meat.. to a giant bag of chicken nuggets and a giant bag of fries for £1.50 each in iceland which would probably do a family of 4 for a couple of meals...well eating healthy seems a fortune in comparison. Especially to those on low incomes.
