The cost of Healthy Eating?

[PumpkinZulu]

Here's the other thing. Trying to turn unhealthy foods into healthy ones. Yes, that will often be a bit more costly. Like the pie example (not using you as an example though Clover!). The alternative? Don't eat pies. Don't eat chips. Don't try to make junk into healthy food. Just eat other healthy foods. People can live without pies and burgers.

why not? honestly? why can't you have a healthier alternative? we have shepherds pie instead of pie in a pastry base. we home make it and load it with veg. it's divine. we do oven chips sometimes. we make our own burgers (and i've seen you do the same PZ). Kids want what their peers have. it's natural to want it. media advertising shows burgers and things. kids want it. hell, ADULTS crave them too. i know i have (and i hate maccas - wouldn't eat a burger if you paid me to!!) - so why do you have to give up what you like? isn't the current notion to swap it instead of stopping it??
