A truly healthy diet does cost more than a diet full of trash. At my supermarket, lean beef costs more per pound than fatty ground round and the ingrediets for homemade chicken noodle soup cost more than a box of Easy Mac. <br> <br> I think, however, that how you eat is more about priorities than how much money you have. Americans just don't make a healthy diet a top priority. And that goes for middle class folks, too. I can't tell you how many times I've seen dolled-up stay-at-home moms at my middle-class grocery store, yaking on their expensive cell phones and pushing their carts full of convenience foods like toaster pastries, sugar-coated cereal, cookies, frozen and boxed meals, and other items I call "colorful boxes of death". I've heard people gripe and moan about seeing welfare recipients buy nothing but trash, but you know, they're not the only ones. Americans love convenience, we love garbage food, we have no taste for good stuff.
