Is organic more expensive? Let's do the math.

My step father says anyone can eat organically on $20 bucks a day. So we put that idea to the test. We went to a local Whole Foods market and bought $550 worth of groceries. That food lasted me almost one and half months! Comes out to about $12 bucks a day.

Now let's take the way I used to eat every day. A typical breakfast usually consisted of three eggs, bacon or sausage, hash browns and bagel, coffee and tip. About $10 bucks. Mid morning snack before lunch of croissant and another coffee-$4 bucks. Lunch, usually a sandwich from a deli, with chips and a soft drink-$12 bucks. Dinner, usually at a restaurant. Always over $15 bucks easy. Total daily cost for junk food? $41 dollars!

So, we've done the math. Whole foods on $20 bucks a day. Junk food/restaurants on $41 bucks a day. Sometimes, the perception of something is more pervasive than the reality.
