Great post, as usual. I pay close attention at the grocery store and I'm pretty confident that it's LESS expensive to eat healthier, as long as you don't buy fancy, boxed and processed "healthy" foods. At least in my experience and observation.
Really it comes down to effort, not cost. People are unwilling to put in the effort. And that's fine sometimes. Tonight we're ordering pizza because we don't want to put in the effort to cook like we do, at least, five nights a week.
I think you nailed. It does come down to effort. And there is no harm in a fast meal now and then. But 7 nights a week and every meal? There is a price to pay. We are seeing it as a society. . . .
I have always said that hospitals cost a lot more than organic food!
Exactly! And yet everyone baulks at the price and then suffers x10 later for the decision.
