8 reasons why healthy food is NOT more expensive

I have to rant about this topic because I'm so sick of
people claiming that they can't eat healthy because
"healthy food is too expensive". I'll show you just
how ridiculous this claim is below.


**8 Reasons Why Healthy Food is NOT More Expensive

This is probably the biggest excuse I hear from people
as to why they don't eat healthy... most people have a
false impression that healthy food too expensive. But
I'll show you just why this is absolutely ridiculous.

Generally, people complain that prices are too high
for foods such as:

*organic free-range eggs vs standard supermarket eggs
*healthy grass-fed meats instead of standard unhealthy
grain-fed meats
*organic produce vs conventional produce (there are
some times when this doesn't matter)
*cooking natural unprocessed meals vs fast food meals

Here are some things to consider:

1. People complain about the price of organic free
range eggs that are $3.50 per dozen. However, those
same people will buy a $2.00 soda EVERY DAY of the
week, which is nothing but chemicals and high
fructose corn syrup.

The dozen eggs will give you several days worth of
all of the B vitamins, selenium, phosphorus, and
dozens of other vitmins and minerals that you need.
The dozen eggs will also give you approximately
80-90 gms of some of the most bio-available protein
available. Plus there's the healthy fats, omega-3's,
lutein, and more.

I don't care if eggs went up to $10.00/dozen... it
would still be a bargain!

Why don't more people just skip the $2.00 sodas that
they drink each day and put that $60.00/month
towards healthy food instead?


2. People complain about the price of healthy foods vs
just getting fast food...meanwhile they pull up to
the fast-food drive-in in their $50,000 car.

Where are the priorities? Obviously, this person
is saying that their car is more important to them
than their health. For some reason, they can't seem
to understand that their car isn't gonna matter
when they die of a heart attack!

Why not drive around a cheaper car and use the extra
funds to buy healthier food?


3. People complain about the cost of healthy foods, so
they resort to eating cheap junk food... meanwhile
they are spending $200 or more per month on blood
pressure drugs, type-2 diabetes drugs, etc.

Yet for some reason, they don't seem to grasp the
concept that eating healthy can fully reverse their
high blood pressure and type-2 diabetes.
Yes, fully reverse!

Why not put that $200 per month towards eating
healthier and working out instead of on drugs that
have side effects and are draining their wallet?
Hmmm.


4. People complain about the cost of healthy foods,
yet the horrendous food supply and resulting poor
health of the nation causes higher health care
costs for everybody. Where's the REAL cost?


5. People complain about the cost of healthy foods,
yet these same people seem to be able to afford the
fanciest new cell phones, ipods, laptops, big screen
TVs, and way too many cable TV stations to ever be
able to watch. I guess their priorities are saying
that those electronics and watching 4 hours of TV
per day are more important than their health.


6. People complain about the cost of healthy foods,
yet the pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and other
poor farming practices (such as factory farm feedlot
wastes) that go into producing unhealthy factory
farm junk food end up creating costly environmental
cleanups (which can increase your taxes) and
deteriorate health.


7. People will balk at the price of a healthy grass-fed
steak or organic produce, but they will spend $100's
per month on cigarettes, and drinking twenty $6
beers out at the bars every weekend.

Btw, if you want to support a farmer that's doing
things correctly, in a healthy sustainable manner,
you can get some of the highest quality grass-fed
meats, wild fish, and healthy snacks right online

8. And lastly, people tend to generally view food PRICE
as the most important aspect in choosing food, as
opposed to food QUALITY. But this makes no sense
whatsoever.

I bet anything that many of those same people that
choose food based on price (instead of quality)
choose their clothes based on quality, their
electronics based on quality, their cars based on
quality, their homes based on quality, their
jewelry based on quality, etc, etc.

Once again...priorities! Why do so many people
value quality on "material" goods, but don't
value quality when choosing food, which is going
to determine their health, happiness, how good
they look, and how long they live.

It's absurd if you think about it.
