To Eat Healthy or To Save Money?


Why is everything so difficult these days? We all need to be more health conscious, but all our quick fix choices are unhealthy substitutes. The other day I found myself in traffic and hungrier than ever. Home-girl is on a budget so it wasn’t like I could stroll over to Jason’s Deli for a hearty snack. My options were… well, you know what my options were because this is the same thing you face daily. This dilemma down right sucks!

I started to get the best of myself when my thought process centered around how these unhealthy, cheap, food stops were conveniently placed on every corner for a reason. Why isn’t there a drive through subway? Why can’t our healthy options be cheaper? We all know the troubling weight concerns our country already faces, so why are we doing something more about it? I want the same amount of healthy food selections as I do the unhealthy ones and since I’m on my high horse I don’t want the healthy food places to break my pockets like they do now. Take That.

  1. I totally agree! I was just discussing this with some friends and it turns out we are all faced with the same dilemma. It seems that only the rich can afford to truly eat healthy in this society. I recently went to Panama on vacation and noticed that the cost to eat healthy there is sooo much better and the fruits and veggies are much fresher. I guess we all just need to start our own garden...LOL!

  3. It crazy that not only is bad for you food cheaper, but it's so readily available - within reach. Healthier options are also perishable. Fruits, vegetables & meats have an expiration date (unless they're canned). Twinkies? Not so much, can’t complain thou because I love ‘ em lol !!!,.
    Frozen foods are a great way of extending the shelf life of your healthier foods; however you may sacrifice a bit of taste value in the process. If there’s a Trader Joes out there in NC they always have great deals!!!!!!

  4. The unhealthy foods that are so readily available are subsidized by the goverment, that's why they're so cheap. This is why you can buy a burger with meat, cheese, bread AND vegetables for $.99. Ironically, without these subsidies, the unhealthy options are just as expensive as the organic/healthy ones if not more since you'll be paying for it later at the doctor's office or hospital. To ease the financial burden of opting for healthier foods try eating less meat, buy fruits and vegetables in season (very few fruits or vegetables grow year round) and stay away from processed foods, "healthy" or otherwise. GO JACINDA!

  5. Almost forgot..."rise" is absolutely right, Trader Joes does sell reasonably priced organic produce and other foods.

In fact, as much as approximately 30% of employer-based drug tests are considered to be false-positives.
