On my way to the gym this morning, I was walking past the Denny's and glanced in; of course everyone was fat, that's not what gave me pause to think. It was that these "people" were most likely spending between $8 and $10, probably every morning, for a breakfast that is slowly killing them, every day before work.

Let's say that they do this 5 days a week, and eat at home on weekends; at an average of $9 a pop. I'm probably erring on the cheap side, but I'm including tip and, to be honest, I don't know what Denny's costs for a breakfast. That's $45 a week, just for greasy breakfasts; that's more than I spend on meat for an entire week. Now, I don't eat a lot of meat (recently reformed vegetarian) but what I do eat is organic, cage free type meat - it's expensive compared to grocery store meat. But it makes more than 5 meals worth, actually closer to 11 meals. Eating healthy is WAY cheaper than eating garbage.

Wow, I just did the math on my breakfast, and even counting the spices added, it's less than 60 cents. No tipping needed.

You got me beat, I'm at a whole $1.40. Canadian. :) I normally have cottage cheese and blueberries for breakfast.
