soapalchemist said:Because in my personal experience so many whole foods (e.g. brown rice and bread) cost twice as much as their refined cousins; it is of course possible to eat healthily and cheaply e.g. pulses cost very little. But to eat healthily and conveniently, and not spend a good part of every day in the kitchen, costs.

Perhaps it is the small independent sector which provides goods and services to an unwary market with claims of product efficacy which is more to blame than gullible purchasers.

I have to be blunt and say I hope that that is not meant to be as patronising to each group as it sounds?

Neither SWMBO nor I spend "all day" in the kitchen - nor do we spend a fortune on the ingredients - I learned as a young man from my ma & grandma what made for good healthy tasty food on a budget... if there is more than about 40 minutes prep spent on a meal, then it had better have Heston Blue-Mental preparing it
soapalchemist said:Is it patronising to assume that middle class professionals have more money than the working class and unemployed?? Or that the upper class (who would normally have more money than the other two groups) don't have to endure microwave meals? Whether they choose to endure them or not, I wouldn't know.
