$900 is $30/day for all of you to eat... you think you could 1/2 that by buying "normal" people food? Save $450/mo... or a lease on a Mercedes-worth of money. How much perspective do you want? I mean, the best way for you is probably to try 3 months worth of buying "cheap junk" food and see what those costs are, and then figure out if the additional spending on the local organic stuff is worth the moral highroad and how your body actually feels compared to eating the slop the rest of us eat. If you could actually tie the additional spending on 'good' food to reduced spending on other health areas (healthier checkups, reduced risk of diabetes, etc), then you'll see hard numbers. The problem there is no one ever accounts for what diabetes costs because they never plan on getting it... so, cost avoidance isn't counted as a 'savings' because people doesn't usually view it from that perspective. And then after buying all this 'good' food, you still get diabetes or some other disease (like cancer) from the pesticides and things used on organic food, then it's a REAL kick in the organic nuts from a cost perspective. So, is organic food a good value? For some people it is, for others' it's not. But, you're looking at short term costs against long term savings.
