i have finally found out why america is fluffy....

it costs way too much to eat healthy!!!!!

Oh my goodness 60 bucks for barely a weeks worth of groceries! What is up with that??? You would think that fresh veggies and fruit wouldn't cost an arm and really whole wheat bread...there went my leg.

It's cheaper to eat quarter pounders with cheese than a ham sandwich on whole grain bread with a side of carrots and green trees.

ok i think that is enough ranting about that

ITA with you on this one, it's ridiculous..in fact a study was done on why so much of lower/middle class America is obese and the answer was.........beacuse they can't afford to eat healthy...suprise,suprise.

Why don't we all move to one location (right in the middle of the US) and we'll form a little colony and we'll start up an organic farm?

LOL

Okay, it sounded really cool until I actually typed it out.

We can all dream, can't we?

It's asinine and the whole issue lies with supply and demand. They think because they somewhat have a huge product they can price it at a higher price.

I am really annoyed about it and who can you fuss to about it you know.

I got a lot of veggies and fruits this time around. I am having to rethink how I need to eat vs my limited income.

Or we can take all the healthy choice dinners loaded with junk and throw them away in a huge bon fire in the middle of our commune?
