This is one of my central concern with ethical consumption as some kind of cure-all for all our problems – it equates voting power in society with how much money you happen to have. Great points and I hope it’s still on next year, would like to do this myself!

I agree simple carbs are not the way to go. And this week was no time to experiment with my zany pasta bake.

I haven’t done the calculations but my guess is that you do better than getting bloated on starches and still be on a budget. For example, getting the cheapest cuts of meat instead of steak. Also, rice is much better than wheat, and also cheap. Just throwing in some ideas in case you decide to repeat the challenge next year.

Unfortunatly the “Healthy options” (fresh fruit and veg) normally are more expensive compared to the staples (carbs)
