It's really hard to tell someone to spend their entire meal budget on a single head of broccoli! > Organic rainbow carrots are $1.50 a pound https://www.loblaws.ca/organic-carrots-bunched/p/20056027001_EA https://www.loblaws.ca/organic-carrots-bunched/p/20056027001... Sold by the bunch, but really more like ~$10/lb. I don't disagree that it's possible to eat healthily on a thin budget, but we're sadly past the point where this can be accomplished by buying fresh vegetables at the supermarket.
