RE: Eating Healthy While On A Budget

in #budget7 years ago (edited)

I see that you've included the tag "nigeria" in your post. I would assume then that this post originates from Nigeria. We have a very similar problem in the US. Getting REAL food here is costly. It is much, much cheaper to purchase foods that include a multitude of chemicals or are frozen with tons of preservatives. Our major food suppliers seem to mostly rely heavily on GMO foods and using food chemicals designed by huge corporations (like Monsanto). I'm convinced this is not a healthy way to eat, so I usually pay the price tag for the organic and non-gmo foods. This is usually almost a 100% price increase. I could easily lower my grocery bill by purchasing cheaper foods, but I wonder at what cost is this to my long term health.

Yeah, you are correct. I'm from Nigeria. It's really best to try to get organic foods. Thanks for your contribution.
