I recently put together a grocery list of humane, organic, healthy foods to see how much it would cost for a single person a month it came up to about $595. How much do you think it is too much to spend a month for a single person's food supply?

$500-$600

I have monthly grocery budget of 600 for four people, and we eat well and healthy, although we drink too much soda. :)

Lean beef isn't even really that healthy since most people of the modern generation have probably not eaten a grass fed cow, along with anything processed. Depending on how strong and particular your morals are that also raises the bill if you wan to eat humane food.

our local farmer's market is very reasonable here, we eat a LOT of locally grown produce. And I do ask how they fertilize, etc. Many do it the old fashioned way: poop.

Fertilizing with poop and live stock standing to their ankles in poop are completely different.
