Price of healthy eating

Play with the math. It's easy to say that some of the healthiest foods re expensive - I am always shocked at how expensive a tiny bit of berries can be, even in season, and the best green vegetables cost more than meat, sometimes, so it becomes easy to say that they are out of the budget. However, sweets and chips typically cost even more per serving unless they are made at home. And a dinner out - way more! So if you are trying to persuade yourself that you should do something, and keep coming against the cost, look for something that can be given up, or that you should be giving up and do the math there. If that's not enough, look up the price of paying for medicine and surgery. With even basic off-the-shelf pain relievers going up, the price of healthy eating starts to look easier to digest.
