wow, that was really thought provoking mg...especially looking at the amt spent v's the amt of fresh produce and whole grains.... hhhmmmm
wow, very interesting!! i too noticed the lack of fresh fruit & veg with the larger expenditure families.....
Food for thought!
I agree with Anon on "food for thought!!"
Very interesting. So much packaged food! And I couldn't help noticing that the bigger families ate more fruits, veggies and whole grains AND managed to spend far less.
I've been meaning to calculate how much we spend growing most of our food (but not all) from the garden... I would guess we eat more like an Egyptian...
