Suppose for a minute that I say something like "Oh, sorry, no - I don't patronize fast food." A ststement like that can make you seem like a real snob to some people. I don't think it's true - I'm just trying to figure out if that is where the perception comes from.<BR/><BR/>And, truth be told, it is often more expensive to eat whole foods. At least that is the case for me. I could probably do a bit better with better menu planning, but I'm spending about $40 more week if I compare receipts from before I started eating almost exclusively locally. Some of that is just the excitement of trying new things, buying bulk for all the frozen tomato and apple sauce, and a lot of it is meat - pastured chicken and beef are a lot more than their commercial counterparts. <BR/><BR/>It's totally worth it to me though, it's just a metter of what your priorities are.Matt McCannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17944824461883230360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145304480917779208.post-77744840037643742682008-04-29T23:11:00.000-04:002008-04-29T23:11:00.000-04:00I totally agree, how the heck did this even become...I totally agree, how the heck did this even become an issue?
