Am I the only one that has noticed that it is cheaper to buy junk food or fast food for your family then it is to buy healthy foods?
I want my children eating healthy fresh fruit, vegetables, meats and fish, but the costs keep getting higher and higher that it is harder everyday to cook healthy meals. To help I have turned my garden into a vegetable garden but that isn't the solution for all of us.

You will be pleased to know that not all supermarkets are multinational chains.
Foodland IGA Supermarkets and IGA Fresh Supermarkets (2 different banners) and all individually owned. They do their own buying. Some Store Owners have more than one store and have Managers in them. (e.g. in SA some Foodland IGA which do this are owned by Drakes, Romeos and Chapleys ---family owned businesses. There probably others. They are the ones I have personally had contact with during my working days). There are several others and I know there is some interstate too.---some under other banner names and individual names too.
