Reply #27: I'll never buy this "it's cheaper to eat crap!" argument

[jpgray]

Rice, roots and beans are about the greatest bang-for-your-buck food combination out there. You can make an incredible pasta sauce for about $3.95 that will last you through weeks. And with a little oil and some seasonings, these can all taste incredibly good while remaining very healthy and very cheap. In general most people who complain about healthy food being outrageously expensive are:

1) Addicted to the taste of foods high in sugar, corn syrup and animal fats.
2) Unwilling to cook for any amount of time.
3) Habituated to certain types of food and incurious about new tastes that might be made more cheaply.
