Healthy Eating is for Suckers
Let me take a minute here to gripe about healthy eating.
It's expensive.
Anyone who claims that making food at home is cheaper than going out to eat all the time obviously hasn't opened their eyes long enough to notice all the restaurant and bar food bargains out there. There's $1 menus at all fast food places. A coffee and donut at the gas station is $2. Every local bar within a 15 mile radius of me has not only drink specials every day (big smooch to Sullivan's for your Buy One, Get One Free happy hour!) but also food specials. Shenanigan's bar has $2.25 food specials EVERY DAY - burgers, pizza, brats, tacos, chicken sandwiches. Plus a side of fries is only $1.25.
low-fat organic pizza = $7.99
organic hamburger patties = $6.99/4
Greek low fat yogurt = $1.99 FOR 1 SERVING
organic milk = $5.99/gallon
Skinny Cow ice cream cones = $5.29/4
I spend three times that at the liquor store…IN ONE TRIP.
That's why my life looks like this:

And then I go to the local pet shop and buy this:
Exclusive cat food. The BIG BAG. Costs $23 plus tax. That feeds BOTH cats for over a month - breakfast, lunch and dinner. Can you imagine only spending $10/person for food every month.

Plus doesn't the whole buy you own healthy crap involve like, making it? Like instead of me sitting at a table and saying, I want this, and then SOMEONE ELSE making it for me, bringing it to me, cleaning up my mess AND I go home to a clean kitchen... instead of that... you want me to DO IT MYSELF?
I'm confused.
