re: #211 tradewind

I would hate to try to feed a family healthfully on food stamps or a barebones budget, though. It must be a really challenging and in a lot of cases, discouraging effort, because fresh is more expensive.

actually, that’s not true. raw potatoes are cheaper and healthier than potato chips. apples are cheaper and healthier than apple treats or those gummy “fruit snacks,” hamburger is cheaper than slim jim crap, etc, etc.

processed, packaged food is very pricey. I can always tell if I buy quite a lot of it because my bill at the register is higher.
