Reply #16: While lentils are cheap, one of the few grains that are

[nadinbrzezinski]

for the most part what people can buy on little money is not that good for you, I am not talking of fried chicken, that is expensive actually. I am talking of your pastas, your mac and cheese, your really cheap bread.

Ramens for example, which are loaded with salt and other additives.

This is actually a national food policy. We COULD have fresh fruits and vegies be cheaper, if we chose to, and the same goes for some cheeses, and other good things... like whole grain breads.

This is not trendy, this is a national food policy. Oh and if you are on food stamps, go to the store and see what it will cover.

Just saying, but your apples are not in the list.
