just incase I say anything wrong, I have learning disabilities
I think it should be subsidised by the government so it can be cheaper and affordable for everyone.

I mean things like fresh fish, fresh berries, lean steak, salad leaves all full of nutrients that are beneficial for everyone and prevents inflammation and stress but too expensive for people to eat daily

Food production in the UK is already heavily subsidized. Farmers make tiny tiny profits. If we actually all paid a fair price for good food it would be ££££. I don't disagree with the basic premise that frozen beige shite shouldn't be the cheapest option but it's an industry with myriad problems. It's much cheaper to eat healthily if you are vegetarian..lentils, chickpeas etc are much cheaper than meat.
