RE: Quality and value...where have you gone?

I will eat pretty much anything and I have the figure to prove it. My wife on the other hand is a bit more picky, so that often dictates our choices. She always says that she can find something anywhere, but if there is only one chicken option on the menu, then while that may be accurate, it isn't ideal. I wouldn't say I eat great, but I have made definite changes to my diet since I met my wife. I eat far less red meat now and I eat a lot more vegetables and we now also eat a lot less pasta than we used to.

Sort:  

It's a choice some people make I guess and some don't have any choice at all. Isn't it interesting how our choices are influenced by those we have around us though, your wife in your case. It's good that you're diet included more vegetables these days.

You are right. I think social standing makes a huge difference too. My wife and I are always shocked at how much fresh fruits and vegetable cost. Then you go buy the processed stuff with all kinds of carbs and additives for $.99. It's almost like some people don't have a choice.

I read a thing a while back about those in the lower socio-economic demographic having a poorer level of health due to eating habits around cheaper and more processed foods based on cost. Eating healthily is far more costly than not doing so.

In so many ways yes.
