NO shit there!!! I'm changing my eating habits as we speak and it pisses me off how much more I have to spend now. And that is after lowering my portion sizes to eat 6 times per day instead of just 3-4.

I wanted to have sex.

There's the answer. Obama should implement a healthy living stimulus. Whores for weight loss. Get ACORN involved.

Quizno's isn't your problem. You are your problem.

I would guess more than that. Of course, they could create exactly the same thing at home. It would probably taste better, too.

Well, if you can throw a spear accurately, it will take one throw.

But the efficiency of weapon argument is way off topic.

Looks like former fat people are worse than ex-smokers when it comes to telling other people what they need to do.

ROFL I like the stackers at Burger King so I started making a version of them at home. I use turkey as a substitute though.

You think that healthy food is less expensive than unhealthy food?

I'd love to hear your reasoning.

Fresh food is more expensive. That doesn't mean you have to spend a lot of money to eat healthy.

Take 100 obese americans who love bacon ultimate cheeseburgers.

Now tell them how many calories are in it.

How many still order the bacon ultimate cheeseburger?

The majority.

If you have access to alternative shopping options like Farmer's Markets, etc - then I would tend to agree.

If a supermarket is your only realistic option - then I completely disagree.

I read a study once for a sociology class where foods that are considered healthy averaged over $18 per 1000 calories, while foods that are considered unhealthy such as cookies, chips, etc cost just under $1.50 per 1000 calories.

I'm in the same position as Guru. My wife and I have started eating healthier and cutting out chips, soda, cookies, etc. Our grocery bill has gone up over 70%.

Let's say a meal at McDonald's (one of those Angus burger combos) costs, what, $7.00?

You don't think that you could make a salad for $7.00?

If you mean "Every single one of them", you're right.

I actually spend a whole lot less when I'm eating well. When I'm on a binge I'll spend 15-20 a day on restaurant food, which comes out to around 500/month. When I'm eating primarily fruits and vegetables I usually spend around 300/month. Fresh stuff does cost more, individually speaking, but I don't buy/consume nearly as much of it when I'm doing things the right way.
