I think the prob w obesity in USA is because.several years ago bout 1975 or so food went from mostly organic to hybrids. Hybrids contain onlt 10% of vitamins nutrients etc of organics. So peoples bodies are craving the minerals vitamins n such so they eat a lot more than they would if they ate organic. Economicly it bout evens out to same but your healthier.

It is important to know that if you are buying cheap foods, that they must have good nutrition. It doesn't help to be eating cheap processed foods most of the day, and letting your body starve for nutrients. Each meal you eat should contain healthy, fresh fruits and vegetables. Too many seniors I used to visit in my job practically lived on crackers, Pop Tarts, canned soup, chips, soda and pre-packaged frozen meals. They were some of the sickest folks I've seen. With limited income, we may be cutting our health out of the picture, and when we cannot figure out why we don't have any energy, and why the doctor is saying our blood pressure is going up and our blood sugars are putting us in pre-diabetes, look at diet. Whole foods will fill you up a lot better than processed, so while you may spend more on an apple than some corn chips, it will fill you up, and you can't "eat the whole bag." Because we can binge on junk food, it doesn't come out cheaper in the long run. A bag of corn chips may cost $2.99 ($3.00), and we can eat it all with dip. But how many apples, at .75 each can you eat? See?

PS : I just drink tea, coffee and water- no sweetner in the drinks. Also, when I cook, I cook about 8 to 12 portions- then I freeze in individual portions. That way you can have delicious home-cooked food every day. Portioning before you freeze helps you eat in sensible amounts.

My Dr. told me margarine is real bad for you. He said use butter, but just use small amounts. Snacks, are real expensive, like potato chips, you can buy lbs of potatoes, for what you pay for a bag of potatoe chips, and they most brands have do much salt. Cooking at home simple meals save alot. Alot of restaurant, use margarine, and they don't change their oil when they deep fry, where it makes like French fries taste,almost rancid. Not all restaurants, but I've noticed this with alot of fast foods. Frozen veggies, and fruit are better, alot of fresh produce isn't that great.

Controling your portions is a whole lot easier when you avoid the high fructose corn syrup and natural flavors (not really natural). Makes us crave more, and not feel full, beware!

I had to do this when I had my third child. She was a newborn and I wasn’t working. My son was 7 and needed a lot of therapy, which was very expensive. Basically, I did what you’ve described…cut back the meat, ate beans, lentils, rice and soups, used frozen vegetables and baked all snacks from scratch. We made it through, and it taught me to live a much simpler life. Now that I work full time, we simply spend more money?!
