Sticker Shock Diet

First post of this year, and since returning to Cambridge from vacation. Walking into Marks & Spencers on my second day back reminded me of how expensive food is here in England. I don't know the relative prices of food in other European countries, but perhaps Europeans manage to control their weight better than stereotypical Americans because they buy less food. I've not looked in the relative purchasing power between America and the United Kingdom, but it sure seems like a good way to lose weight for a foreigner coming from a country where food is cheap: Sticker Shock Diet.

Oh how glad I am to be from a state that grows much of its own fresh vegetables and fruits. My stomach is missing California already.
