For about $3 you can buy enough potatoes to make more potato chips than you could ever possibly eat before they spoil. So I don't really think junk food is cheap. They use cheap ingredients and then mark them up to ridiculous amounts. French Fries and Soda are the worst about this.

Indeed: it's often cheaper overall to use fresh ingredients and cook them yourself. "Junk" food (more accurately perhaps "junk diets" as the occasional meal won't hurt but they are nutritionally poor) is usually applied to the mass-produced snacks sold by chains who charge not only for the ingredients, cooking, premises and profits but also for excessive packaging and promotions aimed at the gullible.
