Cost of eating raw

[Guest guest]

I would like to start a discussion here about the costs of eating

raw. Strictly from a food budget perspective (not a health

perspective), is it cheaper to eat raw? There is talk about the

appliances you have to buy and the time involved making raw dishes,

but it would seem to me that raw ingredients would be cheaper than

prepared foods, thus lowering the food budget. For me at the time I

heard of this group, because I had candida, I had eliminated much of

the raw food I had eaten in the past, which was sweet fruit, but was

spending over $100 a month in herbal remedies. I haven't needed the

remedies and my health has improved on a mostly raw diet. So it has

definitely saved me money and improved my health. I'm thinking there

are people out there that won't be drawn in to raw by the health

benefits, but if it could be shown that it is cheaper to live this

way, they just might give it a try.

 

What are your thoughts?
