That's what I'm wondering.

I sure wish I had disposable income to buy my healthier foods.

What expensive foods are you buying?

more whole grain products, fruits and vegetables.

I'm more or less arguing that it is more expensive to eat healthy than to eat crappy. I've seen the difference in my wallet.

More "Hope and Change!" Thanks Barry.....

looks like you have a bad link as well.

I hope the gubmnet outlaws double bacon mushroom cheeseburgers cause when they do I'm going to start selling them in back alleys for $100 a hit.

I think you can eat a healthy and inexpensive diet but it's more trouble than an inexpensive and unhealthy diet.

I'm trying to figure it out still but our bill has definitely gone up with the change to my eating habits. Mine isn't a diet though. It is a lifestyle change. More exercise and eliminating the junk.

Yes, all the "specialty" stores gouge you on price. Whole Foods, etc... have a great racket going, and the so-called organics are ridiculous. Even the chain supermarkets are charging you $5 bucks for a pound of salad.

$5 bucks for a pound of salad, or less than $5 for a couple of dollar menu items, some fries and a Coke.....

Even something as basic as a cucumber has become relatively expensive.

If some people in this thread are placing 100% of the blame on the food industry (and advertising), then why bang the drum saying the gov't needs to help (or punish, depending on your point of view) the people consuming those products? Shouldn't the "help" go towards limiting the food industry that is causing it all.

Ya know, stop the cause rather than treat the symptom?

OMG, whole foods was outrageous. I went there once, got HALF the stuff I usually do for a week's worth of the typical breakfast/snack/lunch/snack, and it cost me over TWICE as much as usual. And none of it was organic.

This "new" Government we have now can SUCK A BIG PENIS!!!!!!

A lot of your healthy foods tend to be seasonal, so the supply is low. When supply is low, but the demand is there, guess what happens.

He is "special" that's for sure. The idiots that worship him are just as bad.
