One of the worst things for American health is super cheap fast food, if they all raised their prices 150% our society would be better off. No they wouldn't. They would be poorer buying the deerer crap. Well, crying poverty. I see it here- we've no money for McDs , every night for our six + kids but they still find the money for 100 ciggies a day, 8 pints of beer a night. Kids got no shoes. Cut back on fags n booze. Buy bag of spuds for 3 quid and some burgers for about the same. Do your own. People have their priorities wrong. There were four kids in our house and not much cash but no debt. Want a new sofa they saved for it then bought it . No HP. No debt. My dad had a saying -' we've got fuck all, but it's all ours'

I haven't had a McD ( anything ) in donkey's. Same for chippy food. Never smoked ( except when I rub my legs together fast). I gave up the whisky a few years ago when my dad started falling over more often (pissed). We don't eat bad food , just too much (usually). Though we only have a breakfast and tea.

I like sardines and they are (allegedly) quite a healthy option. Shopping in my local Waitrose, for a long time the sardines in olive oil were 65 pence a can. Last week the price jumped suddenly to £1 a can! I sent an e-mail to their customer services and had a right moan at them, pointing out that the same item in the nearby M & S store was only 80 pence a can. Got a reply, but it was a lot of flannel about market fluctuations, they don't do comparisons with other outlets, blah blah blah. I did notice that the sardines in brine and the sardines in sunflower oil remained at 65 to 75 pence. The olive oil must be the factor, then, or an excuse...

I get mackerel in a tin. I'm not as keen on sardines. I did notice, though, that mackerel in tomato sauce have less fat than those in sunflower oil. Does this apply to sardines?

Sorry, PD, I wouldn't know. Having grown up in a fishing village, mackerel were considered a trash fish. Nobody ate them. Not keen on fish in tomato sauce either.

Frozen juice, in the last month or so, leaped from $1.99 to $2.49. Yipes! Anybody else noticing any spikes in price? The bargain brand is gone AGAIN. And the regular brand is $2.99. Hiked to $3.49, at a different market.

Frozen juice Never mind prices. What's the point of frozen juice. It has a decent shelf life un frozen . Otherwise just by the fruit .

I was just wondering can our US friends also buy any partially chewed food?

Almost 80% of Americans say fast food is a luxury. And 85% don't know what luxury means.
