John,
Makes you wonder about the sheer amount of crud that goes into non-fast food products at the grocery store. Sometimes reading the label on a product is like trying to solve a word problem on a math test written in a backwards mash of three or more foreign languages.

We regularly pay more for food in our house as we buy the products that are not made up of the ingredients mentioned or ones that we are not sure what they are. Recently I bought peanut butter that had exactly one ingredient, peanuts -- this cost about 40% more ($7 vs $5) vs. the major brand (I think it was Skippy) that had at least a dozen things that I could not identify.
I figure you pay for it one way or another; cheaper food (with more chemicals or additives) will cost you more in your health bills, later on in life.
