Me too, though that's irrelevant.

This is bullshit though. I recently spent a month living on basically the cheapest (£31 for 31 days) food I could find. It wasn't unhealthy.
I had bread, milk, oranges, apples, rice, pasta, beans, carrots, onions, lentils, flour, margarine, sugar, raisins, peanuts, sweetcorn, spices, stock cubes, tea, pasata, marmalade, potatoes, cornflakes, vegetable oil, and I forget what else. It wasn't the most interesting culinary month I've ever had, but neither was it the most unhealthy, and it certainly wasn't the most expensive. ~2600 calories/day so I lost weight, but it that's because I was starting from being a lardy bastard. The key to all of this is education, not prohibition!
