:wow:

I splurged a little with the $9 bottle of wine. Now, we're not hurting in my family in terms of being able to buy groceries, but seeing as how I bought mainly veggies and fish heads, I think I'm starting to see how a lot of people across the country are starting to feel the pinch.

If this cost me over $100, and it represents a fairly balanced diet (less dairy or eggs), what are people buying who can't afford extravagances like vegetables? (sarcasm, obviously) How is the dietetic health of Americans changing with increasing food costs?
