Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Didn't you eat these same veggies/fruit before you went vegetarian? When you cut out the far more expensive meat, you come out way less on the bill. I know some folks coming to the vegetarian diet and making radial changes in their diet from a junk food diet(cheap) to a healthier diet. Another cost saving thing to consider is better health and less cost from medical issues, if you eat healthier along with the following things. Here is an Acronym to help you on the road to better health. These 8 components create a unique blend of strategies that heal. NEWSTART - N - Nutrition - a diet that is plant based and emphasizes whole and natural foods. It is naturally higher in fiber, low in fat and cholesterol. E - Exercise - We are designed to be physically active. Regular exercise in very effective in combating many health problems, both physical and mental. It strengthens our immune system, improves circulation and reduces stress. W - Water - Our bodies are composed mostly of water and virtually every body function is dependent on water. Drinking 6-8 glasses of WATER per day is recommended for the average person. Water on the outside of the body may be used to treat for pain and infection, and is vital for cleansing the skin. S - Sunshine - Sunshine is one of the healing agents of nature, and is necessary for strong bones. Just 15 minutes of sunlight can provide the daily requirement of Vitamin D. Moderation is the key, avoiding sunburn. T - Temperance - Temperance is having a healthful balance in every area of life. It involves avoiding that which is harmful and moderation in that which is good. A - Air - Air is the body's most frequently needed resource. Living in an environment where the air quality is good greatly enhances our ability to fight disease. Breathing deeply of fresh air, outdoor air promotes a good oxygen supply for the body cells R - Rest - With proper rest, productivity and disease resistance is increased. Rest is the great rejuvenator. We need quiet physical relaxation after active work, vigorous exercise after mental work, and deep restorative sleep. T - Trust in Divine Power - Trust in God is the most healing component in the NEWSTART Lifestyle. Stress, fear and anxiety affects the chemistry and function of every body system. Becoming acquainted with and learning to trust the Creator God, enhances physical, emotional and spiritual healing.

Apples (organic) are $2.50/lb and up. Tangerines are $2-$3/lb. Broccoli is $3/lb. I try to buy local and I buy organic. Just my produce bill is higher than some people's whole bill here!

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I don't buy all organic and I shop all over the place, I'm in So Cal. I find such great deals and spend so little. I question some of the organic veggies I see for sale, they look like they are grade B and have been sitting around for days.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 You're right, I guess I'm not comparing 'apples to apples' . I had been veggie (now vegan) since I was in high school, over 25 years ago. I don't remember buying meat anymore. I think my bill became higher when I started buying 99% organic, eating tons more produce, and had a picky eater for a daughter! You're right about the medical costs! My 8 year old daughter (veggie since birth - now vegan) sees the doctor about once a year for her well-check. Each year she might come down with a cold. I guess I shouldn't have responded because I don't remember 'before'. I'm envious of people who can get produce from their friends' orchards! I will keep watching other responses to see what I can change! : jtwigg: Sat, 12 Jan 2008 20:30:26 -0600Re: Expensive vs Inexpensive NEWSTART -- Improved health with these 8 things Didn't you eat these same veggies/fruit before you went vegetarian?
