It is bassackwards! I tell the cashiers this all the times as I purchase fresh and healthy foods. They probably roll their eyes after I turn my back and walk away. LOL. I guess I see it as a trade-off with lower medical bills later in life.
My son's school had a non-perishable food drive this past week. I mentioned to a mom that I was sending in healthy foods like tuna, canned beans, etc. and she said she was going to send in a bunch of packages of Ramen, etc.. Okay, so they get a lot of *food* (more bang for the buck) but... Too bad they don't keep track of how much 'healthy' food comes in! It would probably be shocking.
You got me started now!
