[quote=Anonymous]It's expensive because the government subsidizes dairy, wheat, corn, soy, and sugar, so all the processed food that relies on those is artificially cheap. Also, agricultural workers are excluded from the federally protected right to unionize, so their wages are driven to the bottom in large-scale farming. Once you get into a routine you will probably find it slightly more expensive but not excessively so. To make it lower cost, though, you need to invest time to cook from scratch, that's the way to economize with fresh food. Lower the meat consumption and cook from basics, which takes creativity and time. It's not easy to buck generations of a certain way of eating and preparing food, just be proud that you're making the effort and don't be too hard on yourself. Eventually you will come to prefer the food you cook yourself and might even enjoy the time in the kitchen (although not everyone loves to cook, I know that).[/quote]
