Jeez -- stop!  You're making me hungry!  :-)

It does sound like our food prices are comparable and those are good ideas.  And I get your point that it can be done.  I still think there's something wrong, though, when, generally, it's cheaper to eat crap than real food.  It used to be the opposite.

Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes

it's always been cheaper to eat crap.  When I was just a lad, you could get a Krystal hamburger for 19cts.  More onions than meat but basically free.  Another hamburger joing did equally horrible burgers for like 25cts.  No way mom could cook that cheap.

Large scale production using mediocre quality materials and min wage labor is just cheap (and easy for the buggers lining up).
