Best addressed to the thread starter.

I shop by value. Food value. Price is one side of value. My other side of value is health. Shopping by value means that, not only that I do not spend more than necessary, but also I do not consume more than necessary - especially of nutritionally poor food.

best read this then... it would seem that milk is as good for your health as smoking arsenic laced crack while lowering yourself into a wood chipper.
