    Oh man, hit it for a week with a little rum.

    Deliciousness straight from russia.

    !!!! Now I'm mad. It was chocolate/apricot so that would have been perfect. And I wouldn't have had to lie about eating it :(

    granola. seriously. WHY.
    dude, considering how caloric that shizz is, and how non-satiating it is... I've written it off completely.

    Bear Naked honey almond protein granola… 140 calories per 30 grams, 12 grams of carbs, 10 grams of protein. Bam!

    I love the Bear Naked stuff, but nope, still not filling for the calories. Still nice as a treat once in a while with Greek yogurt and berries.

    I'm sure it's been said many times...but meat. All meat.

    I don't eat much of it because of the price. I try to save up to go to my favourite butcher and get really good cuts. If I have to pay so much for it, I might as well make sure it's quality.

    yeah- I don't buy it.
    at all.
    which makes me a little sad- because it IS delicious- and I LURV it in my yogurt- but no- trade off price/calorie wise- WAY to effing expensive.
    I completely agree. Granola is yummy, but it isn't yummy enough to justify the calories. I could have crumbled a Hershey bar on my yogurt for that!

    Ugh, I forgot. Bananas are getting WAY expensive, too. They were 75 cents a pound the last time I went to the grocery store. That doesn't sound like a lot, but when they were as low as 40 cents a pound only 2 months ago....

    My local family owned grocery store has $.25/lb banana Thursdays! It's crazy how many people this sale attracts...even in bad weather!

    And people wonder why there is an obesity problem here! It costs an arm and a leg to eat healthy! You can go to Mcdonald's and get a burger for a buck! It's so much cheaper to be fat! Uggghhh...

    Right now? All of them. Where I live, food prices are getting absurdly expensive. But at the moment I'd have to say asparagus is making me pretty pissed. $7.99/lb? It's a winter vegetable! And it's WINTER!

    Meat substitutes-$5.99 for a pack of 6 Chik'n nuggets that will last me two meals seems like a lot to me

    Ugh, I know! My partner and I splurge way too much on groceries in order to eat healthily. If we lived off of packaged food and low-grade meat, our grocery bill would be literally half of what it is now :\

    Even what I consider "low grade" meat is expensive. Nothing like paying $5/lb for ground beef laden with fat (73% lean conventional beef).

    I don't get pissed off at prices. If it isn't in season then I buy is frozen.

    Yeah but that McD's 1 dollar burger is under 500 calories. So clearly the problem isnt that individual sandwich, is the whole day.
