[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3429510, member: 24302"] Yes, and if you make enough money you can pay the price. At least half the population of the U.S. either can't afford to eat healthy in the U.S. or would struggle financially to do so regularly. A few years ago I was reading how in a popular expat destination in Guatemala $10 would buy a week's worth of fresh produce for a couple. Out of curiosity I went to Wal-Mart to price veggies. Saw a nice looking yellow bell pepper. Price: $1.97. And Wal-Mart is considered an affordable option. On top of that Guatemala has year'round growing in rich volcanic soil. A lot of our produce gets picked before ripe to get it to market. Not so there. To get the equivalent in the States you have to go to farmer's markets where they often charge a premium for "organic." Guatemala is just one example. Saturday here in Kutaisi, Georgia I walked through row after row of beautiful fresh produce in the local bazaar. Take the produce section of about 15-20 U.S. supermarkets, throw in tons of fresh cheese, homemade condiments, spices, honey and jams, bread, that's the bazaar here. And very affordable. Until the U.S. gets back to the kind of lifestyle many of the so called :censored:holes take for granted food wise you'll see plenty of diabetes and heart disease. The processed food industry isn't healthy, and healthy in the U.S. comes at a price. [/QUOTE]
