1374776	2014-05-12 01:22:00	All sorts of problems with this poll :p Cheaper than when ? 5 years ago, 10 years ago, 30 years ago Cheaper in $ terms, as a % of minimum wage ? What is Healthy food. No food is unhealthy in small quantities Even 'healty' foods are unhealty in big quanties. Heck those lovely 'healthy' potatoes will make you sick if uncooked, green or you eat to many of them. Many 'healthy ' foods are very unhealthy if you eat too much	1101 (13337)

As a schoolboy I could buy a hot pie for sixpence (5c). An ice cream cost two pennies. Yes the cost of food has gone up over the years.	Bobh (5192)

In the lean years in the past veges used to cost premium prices. Of course there's exceptions - tomato prices for example fluctuate wildly. An interesting example I discovered yesterday was... limes at just $4 per kilo at my local Sak n Pave, and for the first time I ever noticed, were less expensive than lemons.	Greg (193)

Like a fork, it is just a means of holding the herbs and spices in a clump for transport to your mouth . In earlier times chicken came in cardboard boxes . With the same herbs and spices as the chicken gets, the box not only cooks more quickly than the chicken, it tastes better and probably has around one and a half times the nutritional value . Does not require refrigeration, great shelf-life, compact for storage, and low in fat . Free-range cardboard is possibly nearer to a natural product than chicken too ;) Greg : . . . and for the first time I ever noticed, were less expensive than lemons . By an uncanny coincidence, XP is less expensive than Win 9 . Same sort of thing I guess, and although I have never heard XP compared to limes, . . . ;)	R2x1 (4628)
