Do you think this is a conspiracy to make Americans eat more junk food?

Most items at the grocery store that go on sale can be bought as a single item and still get the discount. Whenever I go down the chip aisle, though, the sale is always "buy 2 get 2 free". A 50% discount is very tempting, but I hate buying four fucking bags of chips at once, because with that many chips around the house I can't help but eat way more of them. I just want to satisfy a small junk food craving, not gorge myself on Doritos for a week. I know I could just pay full price for one bag, but then I feel like I'm overpaying. They also do this on energy drinks and probably other unhealthy and potentially addicting items.

Yeah. You'll never see high quality foods like whole milk, grass fed eggs and meat, butter, etc. go on sale so drastically. Because these foods take real work to produce, unlike fiat foods which just become cheaper due to lower nutrition over time.
