The title of the post was fine IMO, I just thought that #4 did need that caveat. :) Yes, in the long run it DOES cost more money to eat those processed foods, but unfortunately people don’t think about that.

While it's true that many processed foods are cheaper than fresh fruits and vegetables, the long term impact on your health (and the associated $$$ you'll end up paying) is not worth the short term cost savings. However, there are plenty of processed foods that cost more than the natural ingredients but have much less nutritional value. But you're right - I should have called the article something else if I wanted to include that tip. :) Just think of them as good eating tips that will also save you <em>some</em> money. BeThisWay,

Though I do agree that natural ingredients are good and processed foods are bad, processed foods are less expensive than buying things like fresh fruits and vegetables, which I think contributes to the rate of obesity in our country. Sure, a few celery sticks is cheaper than most processed foods, but it's more expensive to buy an apple than most processed snacks. I agree with all of your points except #4.
