Why Are Fruit Loops Cheaper Than Fruit, Obama?

As a supplement to his State of the Union address, President Obama did a Q&A on YouTube, and one of the questions submitted had to do with the price of food.

Obama mentions the First Lady's healthy eating initiatives and the recently-passed Child Nutrition Bill, but also says he's working on increasing access to fresh produce in communities where fruits and vegetables are hard to come by.
