In "The Talk of the Town" section of this week's New Yorker, there was a bit about different groups of Europeans stranded in the States due to the volcano eruption in Iceland. One such group was composed of Belgian college students. One of them, Jolien Demanet, said they were all missing vegetables, having subsisted on "burgers and paninis". She said, "If you want to eat a normal meal with vegetables here, you have to spend money".
Well, that just about sums it up. Junky food-like substances? Cheap. Actual vegetables? Not so much.
