Great post Nurit! I've really been trying to educate my community about the affordability of healthy food. Would love to see more people take on an experiment like yours! .-= Diana´s last blog ..Bacon Jam Burger Picnic at IFBC =-.

This is such a great post! Sure, my grocery bill has increased a bit, buying better food, but really, it doesn't have so much to do with the fact that we're buying less crap, so much as it's just more expensive for a family of four to eat, rather than a family of two. .-= statia´s last blog ..I’m convinced he’s trying to make me crazy.

Not to mention the long lasting damage on the body from processed junk food. That’s my motivation to buy the supposed more expensive. You need to talk to Matt about this He’s slowly coming around.

You are so smart. I agree with every word. This is about *value*, not just about the price. .-= vered | blogger for hire´s last blog ..Am I Putting Ideas Into My Kids’ Heads? =-.

Good write up on a topic I think often about. If most families left the snacks and sugar drinks out of their grocery basket (just drink water!), I am convinced most Americans could afford to eat sustainable meat (not every day, but that is another discussion…) and organic vegetables. I went to a diner for brunch last month with my husband, and somehow we spent $40!! on cheap diner food. We could have had breakfast and lunch at Tilth for that! (Oh, and I just love TASTE.)

I really wonder why people insist on comparing quantity too. In a lot of cases the food is waaaayyyy too much anyways. And I know you can box it and take it home, but is that the reason you’re going out to eat? So you can nuke (and therefor destroy) it the next day??!!
I fully agree with you, don’t be a snob, eat at nice places, buy good quality foods and enjoy your food. (And maybe, in the mean time, actually think about your health by not overeating and eating healthier stuff!)
