October 25th, 2005 - fibermom’s own post on food costs
Having read her comment, I checked our her own blog and came across a lengthier commentary on food costs that I think does more justice to her point than her short comment did.
I still maintain that eating organically costs more, but I do concede that buying unprocessed can cost less. I don’t tend to think in terms of buying lots of processed foods because I never have. My favorite food groups are bread, dairy, and fresh fruits. In fact, that’s about all I ate when on my own in grad school. The only cereal I truly like is my own homemade granola (I do eat boxed cereals, but very rarely, and can’t stand sugary kids cereals–Thanks Mom!!!). I’d do very well with a vegetarian husband to cook for me….

Ah — I found you! Sorry I was slow to recognize you, and thanks for coming to visit me.
I think it also has to do with where you live. It has been pointed out to me that not everyone can rely as much on the farmer’s market as we rural folk do.
Good luck on getting that live-in vegetarian cook.
