Default Re: Funny how we notice the price of 'good' food

When people say they can't afford to do Atkins at the price of meat and veggies, I always think of the price of the big bags of chips, Doritoes and the cans of soda. How many people sit down with a bag of chips and eat the whole thing while watching TV? A big bag of chips costs as much as a nice steak. Eating out at a fast food joint costs as much or more than eating a healthy Atkins meal with high quality protein.

My appetite is controlled, so I don't need to eat as much. Switching over might be a little expensive, but in the long run the grocery bill will be less.
