For about two years now I've been participating in buying local and organic foods as wells as staying away from anything that happens to be processed. Living on a salary that permits me to barely pay my rent and necessary bills, sometimes ONLY choosing from the organic/health section is a task. I've seen Food, Inc & whenever I pass through the middle sections of the grocery store it makes me cringe. I pick my foods from only the outside walls of the store & only on certain occasions do I venture into the processed, artificially dyed sections.
When I eat healthy & stay away from processed foods my weight goes down...and so does the bloating. I feel so much more confident & have mass amounts of energy to hit the gym.
On Sunday I went to a local store here in Iowa to pick up the necessities & I felt SO guilty for not buying organic eggs, bread, & other staple items. I hope that once I get my financial aid refund check I can go & stock up on all natural products. One thing that I noticed & that made me proud as a young adult was the number of college kids reading the labels on items & discussing prices of the food they were about to buy. Whether they were shopping in the health section or not, it was still a nice surprise to see people my age interested in the foods they consume & how they effect your wallet as well as your body.
