Is it possible to eat healthy AND cheap?

[Vivian]

Which statement do you favor?

• Eating healthy can be accomplished by someone on a small budget with planing and economic shopping.
  

• Eating unhealthy food is unfortunatly cheaper than healthy food. Only the rich can eat healthy.
  

Why?

Sure its possible to eat healthy and cheap.. Only if you dont eat much everyday and can fight off hunger easily.

Can people not grow their own vegetables, fruits, and/or herbs? That's not expensive to do.



The street we live on, everyone grows something different. Then when we need something, we just swap what we harvest.

Not everyone has a place to start a garden. Some people live in apartment buildings and whatnot.

Obviously you've never heard of a windowbox before.

Wont work for daily fruit/vegetable consumption. You need more space.

Ehh over here fruit and vegetables are really cheap so I don't get how someone would have problems buying it. It's only when you're too lazy to cook for yourself that it becomes expensive.

Its expensive elsewhere. All healthy food is expensive. Junk is cheap.

OK, maybe it is and my country just has a high social standard. However when I cook a meal for myself I always spend the most money on meat, not on vegetables.

 

[Nebulous's iconNebulous]

Well yeah.. meat is always more money than veggies.

 

[Raxon]

Maybe if you are a farmer.

Yes, It's called Lidl

If you buy in bulk then you'll save lots of money, you know. Go to a market garden instead of a supermarket for all of your fruit and veg needs.
