I'm a huge fan of food quality and would definitely prefer if my clients would have access/could afford the good stuff especially if trying to alleviate certain inflammatory conditions (like atherosclerosis). On the other hand, I've had people make really excellent progress without eating any vegetables and getting most of their carbs from ice cream sandwiches.
For you, yes, I would be a little more stringent on my recommendations even though I know there are other much more important things overall. I'm no different than you, the high quality stuff makes me feel better regardless of it's utility (which I question).
