there are some other examples too, not saying it's the rule.
healthy foods are not marketed as convenient either but more importantly, i think *comfort* foods need to be addressed. so many unhealthy foods are advertised to us that way and i know when i am hungry, many times i ask myself what am i hungry for instead of what is a healthy meal to consume.
all of the fast food joints offer healthy meals, right. yet they primarily sell comfort foods- french fries, milk shakes, etc.

Organic is more expensive, absolutely. But not being organic does not mean not healthy. In fact, the term organic has very loose restrictions on it. "Free range" could be considered allowing the chicken out of the cage for three minutes a day, that would classify as "free range".
