DISPELLING THE MYTH – THE RAW FOOD DIET IS EXPENSIVE
I was in the checkout line at the local grocery store putting the last of my produce on the conveyer belt (already piled high with my array of fruits and vegetables) when I heard the cashier tell the customer before me what her total bill came to. It was an incredulous amount! I glanced at the food being bagged. In only a few sacks the cashier had bagged several large portions of meat, numerous dairy items, pop, beer, and a wide array of snacks. Assuming this woman was from a typical family, the groceries she purchased couldn’t last her more than a week, maybe less. I also noted several large bottles of supplements and medicine.
The customer left and as the cashier started ringing my groceries up I waited to finish emptying my basket until there was room on the belt. Finished, I wheeled my cart to the end of the counter where I helped a store employee fill up the numerous cloth bags I had brought for that purpose. The amount of produce I purchase requires durable, strong bags – lots of them. I eat a LOT of fruits and vegetables on my raw food diet!
The cashier looked at all my bags and said, “Wow, all that for so small a bill!” My total bill was less than half that of the customer ahead of me! My cart was full!
Eating the raw food diet is extremely economical – I’m not buying meat, dairy, manufactured foods (did I also mention the packaging, advertising, marketing, and processing costs rolled in to these foods?)
There is no need to purchase supplements as the raw food diet is an extremely healthy and nutrient-rich one that provides a vast array of vitamins, minerals, phtyo-nutrients, antioxidants, enzymes, and natural fiber.
While 1) eating healthy foods that support the body, improve overall health, and provide higher levels of immune, kidney, liver, and digestive function; and 2) NOT eating those foods associated with most major diseases – meat, dairy, processed foods, etc the need for medication is eliminated. What does it say about our current standard American diet when Credit union location Louisiana Rayville Richland Parish Schools Federal Credit Union prepare a raw meal, and it is healthier!
We’re all feeling the pinch of today’s economy and tightening our budgets. Eating a wide variety of fruits and veggies, and a LOT of it, will help take the burden off your body and out of your wallet.
