The Price of Thinness



The price of thinness is, apparently, quite high. One head of lovely, milky-white cauliflower, one locally grown cucumber, a bottle of water, a can of tuna fish, and some plastic wrap just cost me $18.00.

The beautiful cauliflower was over $6.00.

I am now feeling the rising cost of food.

That means that I will work over 20 minutes - after taxes - to pay off that cauliflower. I hope it feels worth it while I am eating it. I'll let you know.

Update: The feeling I had while eating cauliflower all weekend was closer to "gassy" than anything else.

I guess the price of thinness comes with other side effects.
