This is completly false. A Big Mac Combo is about $7 and that barely feeds 1 person for 1 day. I live off $20 a week for food (I cook a lot), and I can tell you that you can feed a person for about $2 a day no problem. Eating healthy is cheaper then eating crap.

I feed my self AND  my gf for $30 a week and we eat better than a 5 star restaurant.  Everything from scratch.  Pancakes n stuff in the morning,  pizza from scratch, gas grilling, roasting, deep frying, I make my own ice cream!  The stuff I make is not enumurable.  But here's the kicker.  It doesnt take time or hardwork, it takes brains.  I can whip up the most amazing food faster than a trip through the drive through.  Ppl that think they have to read labels need to start reading the recipes on the web. Am I right?

Ok i gotta ask what you are eating to get by that cheap.  My fiance and I eat very healthy food as well and i live in a cheap part of the US but i have to pay $50-$60 per week for the 2 of us.  We don't eat a heck of a lot, we're both fairly skinny.  I don't see any way i could cut the amount we spend in half without going to a ridiculously basic diet of rice, beans, and nuts or something.
