CAN YOU AFFORD TO EAT RIGHT?

Officials around the world are starting to learn something I have known for years. One of the reasons for poor eating habits for some people is they simply can't afford it. Fruits and vegetables can be expensive, or at least cost more than some fast and high carb and high fat foods.

Everyone knows the cheapest and most filling food is ramen noodles. You can get a pack for as low as 8 to 10 cents. One pack of those and some hot water can fill you up and serve as a meal. However a steady diet of noodles is not good for anyone.

Governments all over the world are very concerned with fighting obesity and the diseases it leads to. Now they need to be concerned with making it affordable for poorer people to get the foods they should be eating.

Until this is taken care of, poor nutrition and obesity will continue to be a world wide problem.
