How much is reasonable to spend on food?

Neither the Elk nor the Lion go to McDonald's. We are omnivores, meat and veggies are both good for us, but eating healthier takes into consideration how the meat/veggies were produced and prepared.
No, deep fried Snickers bars, do not grow on trees.

plus, back in caveman days, a 40 year old was an old man. We live long enough now that an unhealthy diet is what winds up killing us. We aren't dying of starvation, or of infectious diseases or trauma like we used to. If we want to live longer, we have to focus on the diet now, because we've pretty much conquered the other causes of death. It's a good thing.

That's just what the Whole Foods marketing people want you to believe.

I'm sticking with a strict Spam and bacon diet.

(When we were in Kauai last week we saw Spam hot dogs in the grocery store. If I could afford it I would move there tomorrow.)

No, but cigarettes do!
