Raw food costs

[Guest guest]

Good morning,

When I lived in Seattle I found I was able to get all of my fruits and

vegetables from Pioneer Organics. They deliver right to your door, even in the

suburbs. They also deliver to Tacoma. You can order a standard box (small,

medium or large) weekly or every other week that has the seasonal and local

produce in it. They also let you supplement it with items from their bulk list.

I would get the $40 medium box and add about $20 of bulk items. They didn't

sell any nuts, seeds or oils so I would get those separately. This was enough

to feed me (100% raw) and provide some items for our family meals (rest of the

family was about 5% raw).

 

Judging from this you could estimate that my grocery bill was $40-60/week for

just myself.

I strongly recommend Pioneer Organics (as a satisfied customer, I have no

financial interest). There is another similar, but smaller and more local

service. My brother in West Seattle uses it and is every bit as satisfied with

it. Here are the links:

I wish there was something as good here. I may have to start something myself.

Well said. The biggest remark about health I hear from people is, " I

need more energy. " Well, they are going to get a lot more energy

from raw foods than from coffee. That's one approach. And we don't

have to make someone a virtual raw foodist overnight. If they start

adding in more raw foods and start to feel better, they could be on

their way to making more adjustments as their body starts to

cleanse. Tastes in food can change as the body cleanses and the junk

people used to like should give way to better choices.
