I'm not sure to be honest. I guess maybe I'm the exception to the rule -

before I started this diet (today) I eat so many vegetables already my

roommate laughs at me. For me, even if it were cheaper to eat badly, I

wouldn't want to do so - I'm a very healthy eater and have pretty much

always been so.

So I'm sure you're not alone - I was more talking about the general public

in the USA right now. Like that movie SuperSize Me.

Fresh food is very high in Ohio also, my dh was grumbling about it just the other day when we were buying salad stuff! I reminded him - he didn't used to mind paying those high prices for chips, cookies, etc.
