Last week found us hanging out in a southern New Jersey hospital as my father-in-law had surgery. We ate a few meals in their cafeteria and I found myself saying “Wow, this food is cheap!” But is cheap good?
Not always. Consider the trouble we get ourselves into when we super-size our portions, demanding the most bang for our buck. More value means more calories. More isn’t always better and more of unhealthy food definitely isn’t.
It was a bit struggle to make good choices from the hospital’s cafeteria menu (would have been easier if I ate meat). I’m proud to say my husband came out the winner, and with no help from me. He visited the different food stations and cobbled together a turkey wrap with a lot of salad added to it. Pair that with a bottle of water, and he had a healthy meal that, yes, was also cheap. Now that’s good.
