The cost of what you eat…. Its a strange world when buying a few pieces of fresh produce can be more expensive than a large pizza or greasy burger. Its an argument Im faced with on an almost daily basis. One reason fast and processed foods are so cheap is because in many countries they are often subsidised. In the USA for example, the Government spends about 73% of its agricultural subsidies budget on meat and dairy, plus a further 13% of that budget on grains. Less than 1% goes to helping the farmers of produce. Processed foods are also made from the cheapest ingredients on the planet - i.e wheat, corn and soy. Its really important for you to note, that these foods are just that - cheap and low grade. Eating these foods may affect your health as they have been linked to health problems such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and even cancers. By buying the best food you can afford, you are investing in your good health both now and in your future. Ask yourself, Am I worth the investment?
