Fresh and Easy

So why does everyone complain about Americans being over weight if they are going to make the stuff that is good for you so dang expensive!

I know this about the grocery store, veggies are pretty reasonable but try to buy unbleached flour under $5 or a loaf of low carb bread for under $3 a loaf. I understand that being healthy is going to be a lot of hard work but should it cost a lot too? I don't think it should.

Over weight persons exibit more health problems than persons at their healthy weight, so wouldn't it go to reason that if we could make healthy choices easier for people to make then they would make them? If we made healthy afforable more people could eat that way.

Some of us simply can not afford to eat healthy and that my friends is a crying shame, the government, big business etc, etc should be ashamed of themselves. They bombard us with stories, commercials and such touting the benefits of healthy living but then make it so only an elite group can afford to actually live that way. It's sad we need reform, no just in healthcare in our thought process as a country in general.

Rant over (for now :) )

That brings me to a little food store we have in Arizona called Fresh and Easy. I don't know how wide spread they are but I will assume that every state has some version of it. Anyway, they have great healthy food at very affordable prices. Their meat and veggies are very fresh and I love to shop there. They are a great alternative to the grocery store as far as healthy food is concerned, they are small and carry a little of everything but I can not do all of my grocery shopping there. I do buy their store brand products and love them! They have veggie chips, pita chips, flat pretzles and kind of snack you could imagine for the healthy minded. They add new flavors to their veggie chips so they are very much like regular potato chips but are so much better for you!

Most of their products have no added junk so they are natural, like their peanut butter I love it! The kids love it too! I don't buy my bread there the selection is small and they are a little on the pricy side too.

I would recommend checking them out as you are navigating your way to a healthier you! I don't have hundreds of dollars to spend on healthy stuff so I will be letting you know as I find substitutes and places like Fresh & Easy so that I can make your shopping a little easier! Let me do tthe hard work and you can benefit!

Till later,
