There aren't millions buying Ener-G or Kinnikinnick foods everyday unlike Post, Kellogg or any other food conglomerate. Many of those companies not only have a US customers, but are global companies with customers for their products all over the world. Being able to sell to a very large group of people does mean that you can spread your costs over a larger number of products rather than a smaller. I think my biggest complaint with gf foods, isn't so much the cost (which is high), but the lack of organic and healthy flour choices. Everybody seems to rely on white rice flour, potato starch and tapioca. You have to cook for yourself to improve the healthiness of your gf food, otherwise you'd probably have prediabetes after eating the standard processed gf diet for a few years.

We've been gluten free Ifor the most part) for less than a year and the transition is a bit difficult. One expense which I do not miss is wheat bread, especially now that bread prices are going up. Packaged and frozen gluten free foods are rather pricey so we have been doing a lot of cooking/experimenting at home. Yep, living gluten free is pretty pricey.

It's one of my new favorites now and once you make a big batch of the spice rub, it's just soooo easy.

At least if I was buying from the Girl Scouts, the $$ would be going to a good cause. :) That is a GREAT way to explain it.

We don't even have Girl Scouts in canada (We have Girl Guides). I assume that Girl Scouts have expensive cookies? <em>Yep, they are. Since I don't usually have a whole lot of questions from people in other countries (I actually only know one person who lives outside the US) it works for me. :-) That only makes sense if you know something about girl scouts!
