Using the website or news circular from your local supermarket, tally the cost of the following: one gallon of milk; one box of a nutrient-dense, fiber-rich breakfast cereal; one loaf of whole-grain bread; one jar of peanut butter (no added sugars); seven small apples (about 2 pounds); one bunch of bananas (about 2.5 pounds); seven sweet potatoes (about 2.5 pounds); two packages of frozen vegetables; two cans of black, white, pinto, or kidney beans (about 7 total servings); one small bag of brown rice; half a dozen eggs. What was your total cost? What important
foods, ingredients, and/or nutrients were missing from this diet? How do you think you'd feel physically and emotionally if you had to follow this diet for one week? What will be an ideal response?
