I shudder to think how unhealthy these kyds will be in the future and what a HUGE strain it will put on the tax payers. We already have over 2/3 of American kyds who are considered overweight and plenty of TLC (and like) documentaries to back up the urgency of this epidemic with shows including, "The Half a Ton Teen", and whatnot. Can't they see what they are doing to their kyds? Many of these kyds think that a fruit roll up, Juicy Juice, or a strawberry poptart is a "fruit", and that frozen french fries, jalapeno poppers, and fried mushrooms are "vegetables". They need to learn that hot fudge, ranch dip, and cheese whiz are NOT major food groups.
The new season of "The Biggest Loser" that started last week has two male contestants in their teens. One is 18 and his starting weight was 388 pounds. The other is a 19 y.o whose starting weight was a whopping 454 pounds, making him the heaviest contestant of all time.

I like white rice too, as well as brown. White rice is yummy in chicken soup or just plain with a pat of butter. Num.
Kidless Kim: Six or seven HUNDRED dollars a month for 2 people?! That's crazy! Like you we spend less than $300 on groceries per month, and to me even that is kind of lavish. After you get your basic set of staples set up, as you said, then it's just a game of looking for sale items, snagging meat and fresh veg on sale, and working with that. Fresh veggies go on sale all the time, and useful tasty basics like carrots and taters are cheap. Our local rec center offers a series of inexpensive basic cooking classes aimed at those without much cooking background. There is also of course tons of info online about basic cooking techniques (http://www.reluctantgourmet.com/technic.htm).
As you said, whole chickens can really be economical. Not to toot my own horn, but I got 5 meals out of a $5 whole chicken last week. 1. Roasted bird for Sunday dinner, 2. 2 legs for DH lunch next day, then chicken salad made from trimming the carcass meat for 3. evening snack and 4. another DH lunch, and finally I made 5. delicious stock from the picked and crushed carcass, with saved vegetable scraps. The smell of the stock simmering for hours was just divine.
We also like econo family packs of cheap bone-in chicken thighs or legs. One whole pack of 8 thigh pieces can be made to stretch out over a full week if you parcel it out 1 or 2 pieces at a time in simple creamy chicken sauce over noodles, chicken stir fry, chicken soup, &c. Save the bones in a tub in the freezer and you can make more delicious stock.
I'm preaching to the choir here so I'll shut up already with this obvious stuff...but that $700 for groceries did kind of floor me.
