My personal theory is that carbohydrates are the magical substance that make things less expensive. I developed this theory while shopping, when I noticed that things without carbohydrates cost far more. For instance, a regular candy bar is 50 cents; the same candy without carbs is $2.50. A loaf of bread is $1; a loaf of low-carb bread is $5. Therefore, the presence of carbohydrates must make things cheaper.

If we could just find a way to fill a Lexus with carbohydrates, it would cost less than a Ford Escort.

But who wants to drive a car that's going to make them fat?

That was SO FUNNY!
I can tell you though, that cooking for a large family gets much family as the kids get older and refuse the easy/ cheap/ high carb meals like noodles, grilled cheese, grain, rice and whatever.
There are lower carb combo's like lentils and other beans and whole grains, but they're long to prepare and cook.
Flour and Sugar have been cheap fillers for too long!
