“One could argue that the administration in Washington is not doing enough to see that people are getting access to the fruits and vegetables that they will need to help win the war on the epidemic of obesity”

I feed my family plenty of fruits and vegetables on less than this woman spends. But, my kids can’t have big bags of gummy bears at $2 per bag when I can buy 4-6 apples or a bag of carrots for the same price.

Yes and it did say she passed on bananas... generally one of the least expensive fruits. And she does seem to buy frozen veggies which are generally more costly than canned. So I don’t really think the administration in Washington somehow should be seeing that we have access to fruits and vegetables.
