Rarest wife and I are diligent with our diet. We eat as clean as we possibly can without direct regard for the ballooning grocery bills. We’re spending over $100/week per person to maintain this, and the bulk of our shopping occurs on the periphery of the store. Bottom line: eating healthy is EXPENSIVE.

Any attempts to make it “affordable” to eat healthy means they either increase production of healthy foods (not gonna happen) or they increase the amount of money flowing to those “impoverished” households. But then who is monitoring what they buy? More welfare money means more junk food. No one’s going to change their diet, only the volume of shit they put down their gullet.

It may mean they can have lobster 2 times a week rather than one. Meanwhile, hubby and I have it once a year. (New Years Day.)

My wife and I never ate better than the brief few months we were on food stamps.

While I agree with your assessment that eating healthy is EXPENSIVE, the expense is somewhat mitigated by the reduced volume of what you buy.

Tell us what you eat each day for frankly I find that as absurd, though soon it may not be.
