Don't be afraid to invest some money in your groceries. This survey found that North Americans cite expense as the top reason for not eating more healthfully. Yet, we spend billions and billions of dollars on treating diseases such as diabetes, some cancers, and heart disease that could be prevented by eating healthy. Seems like our priorities are out of wack! Why would we rather spend money to treat diseases, rather unsuccessfully as it usually is, than prevent them ever beginning in the first place?
If you buy lots of junk food and skimp on the fresh produce to save money, keep in mind that you may end up spending that money on hospital bills or medications later, with the additional expenses of time and heartache.
