Quality, price, and time are like three points of a triangle and you can generally only get 2 out of 3 when it comes to food. There are always exceptions to the rule, but taking the time to cook is often the key to inexpensive, high quality food.

Burgers and fries are about as much as that salad now days. The "it's too expensive" argument really doesn't fly when it comes to eating right. The healthy section of the menu (fast food or casual dining) is almost always comparably priced as the fattier options. People simply don't want salads, vegetables or healthier options.
