Healthy food upcharge?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I was touched by a blog comment posted this week when we were all talking about the issue of whether the rich eat healthier than those with lower incomes. The blogger wrote: “I just wrote a complaint email to Quaker Oats. I bought their Organic Instant Oatmeal for about $1 more than their Regular Insant Oatmeal. I’m usually fine with paying more but in this case ; The boxes are the same exact size Organic or Regular. When I opened the Organic box there was 1/3 fewer packages of oatmeal. How deceptive!!! And what a rip off. I’m going back to the Regular Oatmeal.”
Do any of you know of any other examples where the “healthier” version of the same product costs more? I do remember seeing whole grain frozen waffles once that cost more than the regular frozen waffles. That’s not fair!
