Eating Healthier is CHEAPER than you think

Is it really expensive to eat healthy? Nah, not when a prescription pill itself is running you $60 to $ 70 dollars a pop. That shit is high compared to the price of 3 apples, a bag of kale, a 1 lb bag of onion's to one pill known for Cancer, Diabetes or, any other known illness.

That wasn't always my mind frame. I used to look at the prices and be like, what in the hell is this so high? What gives me a reality check is that, I realized I would rather be healthy while spending money on food that is healing me than to be complaining about not being able to afford a prescription that is not curing the root cause of the illness, but only the symptoms, which might I add the prescription will cause other illnesses, and harm to your body. Now what type shit is that? Don't get me started on who the real drug dealers are,you have drug dealers on every corner they go by the name of Walgreens', CVS, Rite Aid etc. Who is the supplier tho? Shiiiiid you know? We all know who the customers are don't we? The sick! Once again making money off of our ignorance. If there was no sick people, then there would be NO NEED for hospitals, pharmacies, etc. But, as long as the people are sick they stay in business.What is keeping you sick? You are more valuable than you know. If people would just take a stand and fight back with making better choices, we then have contributed to a shift in the world. One step closer is better than no steps at all. I'm not looking to save anyone that's Jesus job , by the way how's that working out ?. Aaaaaaah the fuckery save yourself I just want to shed light some light. Anyways though I watched a documentary called GMO'S , and in the documentary they were documenting about GMOs' in our food. There was a part where he's visiting the white house, lo and behold an ORGANIC GARDEN at the white house! I'm surprised, because the President signed the Monsanto Protection Act which prohibits the Federal Courts from stopping the sale or growing of GMOs' ( Genetically Modified Organism) or GE's ( Genetically Engineered) , even if health issues arise.Even if somebody dies! Are ya'll not catching this shit? Somebody is covering they asses! Do they know something we don't know ? I urge you to watch documentaries where people are taking the time out to shed the light on food that we are consuming. We do have a right to know. Other countries have BANNED GMOS' not the U.S.A tho! Why is that ? I know already I'm asking you.The next time you go into the grocery store pick up a non organic fruit , or vegetable, and compare the price to an organic product.You will see that organic is much higher, while the bad shit is not. Why is that ? You either know or you don't know. But you better find out , and get In Formation! I know I sound like a conspiracy theorist , however when people that haven't made it over the age of 35 are dropping like flies due to illness or unknown reasons I'd say it's a fact.

Again, is it expensive to eat healthy? NO it's cheaper to be healthy, and expensive to be sick. I don't know everything, but I do know enough to make some much needed changes. I don't cringe at the prices anymore I just be like fuck it, and buy it,because everyone in my household is benefiting from this. I AM INVESTING IN OUR HEALTH! When I go to a health food store the people that shop there are all vibrant, and jolly discussing with me about what they're making for tonight. I see grocery list in hand, yoga pants, and tennis shoes.That has become me as well lol! I'm learning how to cook meals that'll last for 2 days, the kids snack on guacamole dip, fruits, smoothies and etc. that I would make a day earlier, store for later, so that they can munch in between lunch and dinner. I keep a basket of fruits and veggies for them to go and get without asking, also a one gallon glass jar with a spout so they can help themselves to some water with lime squeezed in it. The lime helps to alkaline the water. What's alkaline ? Google it and you tell me. Make eating healthier fun and creative. Create a routine that works. Have everyone get involved, and participate when it's time to prep meals. I also feel it helps with budgeting. You have to keep in mind, when you're eating organic foods Don't be afraid to ask if health food store's in your area accept EBT, most do. I know I would! Shop wise and shop smart. Learn how to make your money stretch buy comparing prices for healthier organic, non gmo produce, or products. If you're in a two or 3 person household share the responsibility of cooking.Eat like you give a fuck about your health, and I promise you your mind, body, and soul will respond differently. Real wealth lie's in your health!
