Our biggest obstacle in eating healthy is the price of good food. Organic and fresh produce has now been outpriced for our dinner table.
Surely not here in Canada. Good food is at a good price! There’s so many farmers that they compete each other , and who benefits from that? ME! And the rest of us.
You do not need to eat bio, to be healthier you know? Good fruits and veggies, are STILL good, for example. Better than not having any! That’s my opinion.
To eat healthier, i made a garden.
NOW the challenge is to make my teenage daughter eat healthier….That’s gonna be hard.
Better choices in grocery stores. Much more healthier choices in restaurants.
Consider requiring food vendors to provide a significant portion of the items available to patrons of the mall meet independent health and wellness standards, e.g., Institute of Medicine, USDA 2010 guidelines. This could be made possible through specific language in contracts with the food vendors. Incentives could also be made available for vendors who limit calories/serving sizes, use fresh fruits and vegetables, organics, local produce, etc.
Lower prices on fresh produce. Also, I’ve never learned how to make “meals” using most fresh produce ingredients. I seem to only know how to prepare them as side dishes. Given that, it tends to take a lot of ingredients for a single healthy recipe. It’s simply too expensive to purchase lots of produce when the food spoils so quickly.
Healthier choices in restaurants along with published calories/ nutrition info on the menus! Check out ruby tuesdays- they have lots of healthy choices.
I tend to hate washing, peeling, seeding, slicing fresh fruit. If it’s already done FOR me, I eat a lot more of it! I just wish it were a little less expensive to buy it that way.
Just under two years ago, I changed careers and am making 1/3 of what I did previously. I never before understood as I do now the challenge to eat good, fresh food on a tight budget. Cheap food=less expensive but nutritionally lacking. I guess it would help to know more creative ways to eat healthful (yet tasty) foods on a budget.
our big challenge in Kenya is when eating out! There is hardly any awareness on how to sell healthy foods…and people love to eat out! what to do??
I have learned alot from participating in the development of a community organic garden. With that, we have had demonstrations from time to time by local chefs showing just how easy it can be to cook with better ingredients. I believe that it is the fear of the unknown that keeps us in the rut of not eating as good as we should. This is why we started a Children’s Garden where we expose children from an early age to vegetables and fruits that they may never experience otherwise. When children are involved with the process of growing the item or cooking with it, they are much more likely to taste it.
