So long plant-based diet. And real meat.

You have to want to and you have to be somewhat resilient (I hear being stubborn helps).
I frequently eat healthy (to drop weight) for about $5 / day - eating only raw fruits/vegetables and drinking only black coffee and water. If I can do it 2500 miles from the source, anyone can.
Yeah, adding another $5 for protein and other supplements still makes it cheaper than 2-3 meals at a fast food joint.
How much of not being able to afford eating healthy is truly due to cost?

A lot of times it can be access to those things.

Thanks. I would think rural areas could grow some of their own but only during part of the year. Fruits and veges (or soups made from veges) can be frozen.Mad_Son said:

The idea of some one not being able to make it to a supermarket, or farmers market, is interesting or even compelling.
Thanks for your response. I agree knowledge is likely key. -

Food prices going up terrifies me. Compared to other industrial nations, the US pays more for food and it’s of lower quality, both from a taste and nutritional standpoint.
I won’t get into how this ties in with our nation’s obesity epidemic, but from an economic standpoint this should be nipped in the bud immediately.
