How Much Is That Produce?
It’s Tuesday night and I am just getting home from the local Farmer’s Market.
I look forward to going to the Farmer’s Market every week. It is always an extremely rewarding experience for me.
The people are friendly; the produce is fresh; what more could you ask for?
In fact, I always leave happier than when I arrive. Why? Because I feel very fortunate that local farmers do what they do… working hard to bring us delicious healthy food at a terrific price week after week.
Which leads me to the point of this post:
How much is that produce?
Whenever I educate people about the benefits of eating fresh whole foods I will often times get this reponse: “But I can’t afford it. Those fruits and vegetables are too expensive.”
Well, I don’t really understand this statement.
Tonight, I brought home:
- 2 pounds of spinach
- Broccoli
- 5 tomatoes
- A bunch of celery
- A bunch of green onions
- 5 nectarines
- 5 peaches
- 8 apricots
- 8 plums
All of this fresh delicious produce cost me an astronomical $19.50! That is less than the price of 6 gallons of gas in Southern California. I personally think that this is one hell of a deal.
I don’t understand why people think that buying fresh produce is more expensive, but they do.
If you are one of these people, then I highly suggest you find a local Farmer’s Market. Not only will you find affordable healthy produce, you will find a new lifestyle that I promise will be extremely rewarding.
Well, it looks like it’s time for me to go to bed.
