I'd rather spend a little more on good food - and look and feel better,

And if you DON'T have the money to purchase the better food??? Then you end up buying what you can afford, the cheap, filling starches!

In America, anyone can afford good food - unless they are just plain lazy, or have made some extremely poor lifestyle choices and are suffering the consequences.
