Browse these for an example of how a lasagna can be expensive.
They might me even more than $80. 
The eight dollar lasagna lady obviously doesn't get out much,[/quote]

Michael Pollan has talked a lot about how people expect to buy food for dirt cheap nowadays.  We're putting this stuff into our bodies and we constantly consume fake food products, that have basically no nutritional value, and we balk at spending more.  Contrast that to how we used to eat, where there was a reverence for food because we understood how difficult it is to grow a tomato, for example.  How that takes months to do, and lots of tending and everything else.

it's kind of shocking to see people getting so up in arms about an expensive, made-from-scratch lasagna that obviously contains higher end, healthier ingredients.  It literally is the $8 lasagna (and $1 cheeseburger, etc etc etc) that is fueling the obesity and health epidemic in the US today, and people remain totally clueless. [/quote]

Totally agree. 
Given the choice, who in their right mind would choose to eat the cheaper lasagna?
people are fooling themselves thinking it tastes just as good and is just as healthy.[/quote]

I sure as hell wouldn't.  Then again, I value my health.  I'm not into eating 7-11 hotdogs either, I suppose that makes me a "snob" as well  :lol: [/quote]

I would think my guests would appreciate a quality lasagna. I don't spend $80 on lasagna every week.
When my guests come over, I go that extra mile.
