Ah but have you been to the Rochester public market? One of the oldest in the country, the prices are very cheap as long as you don't buy the first tomato you see. I've purchased mangos 2 for $1, 3 heads of lettuce $1. Some things are more but you know how it goes as quality goes up...
So there is chicken in those sandwiches? I always assumed they called it a McChicken to protect themselves legally. Let me look through some dumpsters, I bet I can put together a $0.75 "chicken" sandwich. Pure profit!
Mmm rancid meat, I stick to things like wd-40 for my wal-mart shopping. There produce is the stuff of nightmares.
Excessive moderation, I like it, very American.
Trueish, it wasn't impressive. But you don't need alcohol to live... even an alcoholic.

No two ways about it. Eating healthy is going to cost more in money and time. If you can't afford it, that's life. You get what you paid for. Consider this. They make a profit off a $1 McChicken. So using that price, what will it cost you to raise the chicken to see that it is done the way you want and to cook it the way it should be cooked? What is the cost time wise? Sorry but if you can't run with the big dogs, don't get off the porch.
I don't know about Wegman's but Wal*Mart meat is cheaper than the other supermarket chains and definitely the butcher BUT the quality isn't there. Sometimes cooking it, there is a rancid smell. Cheap, good and fast? As the Meatloaf song goes, "2 out of 3 ain't bad".
In moderation, you can do a lot of eating. In excess, even water will kill you.
To me that is like setting a goal of an alcoholic pledging not to drink alcohol for 24 hrs. Easy, relatively speaking compared to when you don't know when your next drink is.
