Healthy food is NOT expensive!

Everyone should try to eat healthy, it's better for yourself and the environment and this is not an expensive habit. It only takes a little more than $5 for a full day's meal that includes such things as oatmeal, milk, fresh fruit,beans and rice, whole grain and white bread, and a salad here and there. No one can say that $5 is a lot for a meal because that about how much an average fast food meal cost. The truth is that unprocessed, basic foods are usually dirt cheap. Potatoes sometimes go for as little as a nickel or dime a pound in many places, and they're one of the very most nutritious foods. Beans and rice are very inexpensive. The only time that healthy food gets expensive is when it comes to restaurants because they've gotten so used to using cheap things to make our food that now when people are realizing how fattening and dangerous some of those things can be to our health, they have to make a change. Small changes are what make the world go round. Paying a little more money to make sure that the food is healthy for your customers is ok because in the end, people will be less afraid to eat at restaurants as often as they want to because they know their food is not hurting them.
