While we slimmed down and felt better, it killed my stomach something fierce.

That is a vali...Thank you for your candid question. That is a valid concern. Organic meats and cage free eggs (unless you find a local supplier) will cost more. You may be able to offset that with eating meat just a bit less often or eating smaller portions. Portion control is a big problem for most Americans - one serving of meat should fit in the palm of your hand, but who stops there?<br />As for produce, farmer's markets and CSA's are good. Visit this website: http://www.cleansingmatters.com/is-your-diet-toxic/<br />it will tell you which produce is most likely to be important to pay extra for organic. For regular produce you can buy produce wash or make your own. Organic is still worth it though in my opinion for the extra minerals and nutrients that the plants take up from the soil.<br />But you asked about my personal grocery bill. I laid out a bit extra in investing in some new storage containers and of course buying produce more often and greater amounts. I'm still working out the frequency because I still find I buy more at once than I should and some is wasted. The proteins: tofu, beans, whole grains, etc. are MUCH cheaper than meat. Some of the specialty stuff like quinoa looks expensive but goes a long way, much like rice does. But no question, the produce costs more. Why? Our government heavily subsidizes corn and agribusiness but does nothing for smaller farmers and those growing vegetables and fruits.<br />I hope this helps. We just do the best we can. Being aware as you are is the most important thing!

I'm gonna just be blunt here and ask seriously and respectfully, what is the difference in your grocery bill? I was doing great on eating healthy and buying more organic things but then it caught up with my wallet so I really have to pick and choose. Ideas or thoughts about that? I'm sure there is a more affordable gameplan but I just don't know or have a lot of free time available to check on that.

But when we were vegan, we felt better than we ever had. Heartburn gone. Migraines gone. Pain gone. It was amazing. I keep telling myself I'm going to do it again. I allowed my self to be clothes lined by life and stopped. There are good recipes in the book.<br /><br />One of our favorite things to eat was fresh spring rolls. OMG. Amazing. We made them ourselves. We even found a little Thai vegan place that we ate at regularly, but they closed. :(<br />www.dogtreatweb.comFleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412755038083750088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529657655552025590.post-67280962737106281392013-04-30T11:00:43.013-04:002013-04-30T11:00:43.013-04:00As u said on my blog good post on a controversial ...As u said on my blog good post on a controversial topic.
