Not cooking from scratch is a huge problem. Restaurant food and processed foods are packed with calories, sugar, fat, corn syrup, etc. Home cooked foods are so much healthier.
As for cost, I think it balances out to some extent because the healthy stuff is so much more filling and satisfying that you don't have to eat nearly as much of it. I could (if I wanted to for some odd reason) sit down and eat a dozen donuts and still be hungry for a full meal. But give me a modest serving of some grilled veggies over whole grain pasta and I'm stuffed for the night.
