Hey Ziggy, are you unaware that millions of American Households are 
struggling to save every dime they can on their food bill? They already 
know what you are saying.  The truth is that Americans have been so damn 
price conscious that they now spend a far lower percentage of their 
budget on food than they did decades ago.  And the quality of our food 
has gone down at the same time.

If you were as smart as you think you are, you would be talking about 
nutrition as it relates to cost, and there you would find we are all 
losing out.
