And a dollar for each pack of cigs, $.30 on the Big Mac, $.15 on the king size candy bar, $.20 on a bag of chips . . . starts to add up. And nothing on the fresh carrots; head of lettuce, chicken breasts, whole wheat bread, eggs, skim milk . . . . and broccoli
Not only are you making it more affordable to engage in healthy eating, but also helps cut down on the amount of packaging going into the landfull.
