The bankers were in at my job today. They bought us lunch. (No, they did not eat with us). From a little place called "Touch of Italy". Trays of typical Italian American food. Sausage, pepper and onions; chicken parm, ziti. Very good.

Please do share I usually eat quite healthy, cheap selfmade food and after a while I realize I'm rotating the same dishes from week to week and can't really think of anything new to do. Partly the reason is that I usually consider eating as just "fueling" myself, so doesn't really matter is it good or not, but eat same dishes for a while... Taste starts to suddenly matter a bit:thinking: Good, cheap, and quite healthy foods, anyone?

I ate Alex today ) no kidding I'm a salad dude... so today I had a great Hawaiian mixed garden salad with grilled chicken and pineapple bits. I also eats very healthy as I have a stomach that can't stand too much acidity or any food rich in fat... so I eat very light but from morning to night. And no fast food... those gives me heartburn or just plain diarrhea. All my meal has to be balanced or it's pain land for me

Atleast in here. Food price has been rising and is still rising slowly. Ofc one can eat very cheaply if one just eat same cheapest thing of the store everyday like porage in mornings and evenings, for lunch a carrot potato soup or just ready made chemical filled dish. But most vegetables, fruits, meats, spices, coffee etc are just way too expensive. And if you wanna buy organig...~X( Good thing I don't have kids, would be very expensive just to feed them:rofl:

I have to disagree with that. In my childhood my mother was able to keep things running by saving money on food. Not every day meat, serving the vegetables of the season. The cost of food in those days -early fifties- were about seventy percent of the total household budget. Rent, clothes, taxes and insurance made the other thirty percent. Nowadays food is about thirty percent and seventy percent for the rest.

Good point. But the prices have been lower for a "long" time and then they start to rise and keep on rising... I don't wanna go to fifties prices Food producers should do more direct selling to local stores so we could reduce the amount that the warehouses take. Ofc some items are hard to sell locally, but it wouldn't be all that bad if some items were expensive, instead of them all being expensive.

But then again, like you said, we buy much more other material crap these days as they did before. And don't even wanna talk about rents in city areas...

I eat diversified, nearly everything (it's always a matter of the amount), rich on products of the season, much vegetables, low fat.......e.g. once or twice a week something like this for lunch

pizza and icecream

There was a time when food was dear. During the depression, my grandmother was known as "Stretchy Auntie Agnes". A lot of mouths, not much food. Whoever came, she fed them somehow.
In the first world today, food is amazingly cheap, abundant, and varied. You'll pay a little more for fresh everything, but not that much. You'll get creepy chemicals in easy prep food, but it sure is easy (yes, I do that quite a bit. It gives me a lovely, chemical glow).
It's interesting that the American corn crop...the greatest crop in the history of the world...isn't used much for direct food. Animal feel and fuel production is the main use.
