The Economy, Your Health, and a Garden
I haven’t talked about this in a little while but thought I would bring it up again as I continue to hear that people are putting off healthcare and eating at McDonalds to save money in the current economy. Eating right is a great way to hedge your bets with your health and fast food is not the way to eat well. That’s not to say that I am against enjoying a Big Mac from time to time but there are ways to eat well without spending a great deal of money. You can also go in with family members and invest in a garden that will let you grow your own vegetables and herbs and share among yourselves.
When it comes to your health, you can’t get started soon enough and if you don’t have room for a garden you have a couple of other options. One is a raised bed that you can put on patios or landings that work well. The other option is to eat locally. Find farmers markets or vendors that sell produce at their place of business since these are normally a little bit less expensive due to not having transportation costs tacked on top. Coupon shop and save where you can but if at all possible, please don’t sacrifice your health.
