amazingly enough, Spark People have people making the same excuses about how "expensive" it is to eat heathily:

Amazing because it's a site dedicated to people who supposedly want to eat healthy and lose weight...
Thanks for sharing Stuart. The ironies are pretty powerful aren't they? I'd leave a comment with a link to my recent "making excuses" post, but I'd probably get shouted down. :)

I think you should leave the link. Reading through all the comments, I think about a third of the commentators would appreciate what you're saying with the "making excuses" article!
Done. Thanks for the prod Stuart!

I have had the same debate with people I know, and heard the same lame excuses :-/
I'll just refer them to you in future ;)
That story at Accidental Hedonist is really interesting. I've never in my life drunk eight glasses of water in a day, even when I tried, so I'm glad to hear it's not necessary!
Yet another on my growing list of Nutrition Facts That Aren't. (Along with "Cholesterol and fat are bad," "Vitamins are good for you," and "There are proven facts about nutrition.")
