Explain this? I have no idea. Why is healthy food more expensive than fast food? Maybe you're paying for convenience. Because they buy in bulk? No, that can't be right because the ingredients are supposedly the same. I mean beef costs more than lettuce and tomato and the salad doesn't contain it...and wait...some burgers actually have lettuce and tomato on them.
Long short?
I don't know why this is, but I do know that even in urban areas you can overcome this issue if you're willing to take a little time and acquaint yourself with the area (at least in the South).
I have yet to find an area from Texas, over to Florida and up to S. Virginia that doesn't have a farmers market. I have yet to find areas where people aren't growing their own food.
A little time and effort and you can buy straight from the field, develop a relationship that supplies you with fresh produce year round and you can finally get on track with healthy eating.
We're coming up on the end of the first month of the new year. Some people have already fallen off the health bandwagon. If you have then no worries. Today is a new day and you can still do the right thing for your physical and mental well being.
Do work or suffer regret. The choice is yours.
