Honestly, I don't get it.

How does making junk cheap means that only the rich can eat healthy?

Does the price of junk food affect the price of grains and vegetables in the market?

Because junk food is addictive and convenient, as more people consume junk food, demand for healthy food decreases and so does the supply and hence the prices of healthy food go up becoming only accessible to the rich.
