People consume diets that are deficient in one or more nutrients for a variety of reasons. The typical Western diet often supplies less than adequate amounts of several vitamins and minerals.

Physicians for Responsible Medicine, pediatrician Dr. Benjamin Spock, support a vegetarian diet by which all other foods (including meat and milk) are considered condiments for flavoring. Whole grains (wheat, oats, barley, rice, etc.) and legumes are cheap. They are low in fat. They are a good source of fiber. They are a good source of vitamins and minerals. They taste. They are easy to prepare. They practically put the food, pharmaceutical and medical industry, into bankruptcy. This system automatically provides a REAL health care reform for all, without government intervention or taxation. (After all, he [still] not a tax on the lens.)
Fruits and vegetables do all the above, as well. To save money on your account vegetables, start a garden. A few meters from the ground and a couple of dollars plant more seeds than you can eat. The gardener, on average less than $ 40 in the garden. The average yield of more than $ 500 in fresh produce.
The money you save not buying meat, milk and medicines will be buying a lot of fruit. Want to save even more? You do not live in a warm climate for gardening. Believe me: I live in upstate New York, just behind Lake Ontario. Just across the lake Canada. On the one hand, Buffalo, New York. On the other hand, Rochester and Syracuse, New York. Is the word "cold" something for you? When you hear the words "Snow Lake-effect" or "Blizzard", think of me. And even I get my fruit.
Owners should remember that the fruit trees provide food and shade and beauty. In cold climates, try apple, plum and cherry. You can buy specially tolerant fruit trees that grow well in Montana or Maine. As a child, I remember all the plums and cherries, apples, we have received from wild trees near close to home (and sometimes, I confess, a neighbor tree hanging over their fences.) I've never seen these trees sprayed. You plant, water, you wait, you get fruit. I planted apple trees from seed and now we have a tree that produces well. Cost? Never mind. If an idiot like me can Botanic do (I "C" Plant Science 201 and happy to do so), then you can certainly count on success. No excuses!
Living in apartments, it's your turn (and the owners can still play, too.) "Fruit" does not necessarily mean "big trees in the yard the size of Tara. Tomato fruit. It is a green pepper, green beans, cucumbers and zucchini. (" Fruit " is a seed structure that develops from a flower.) tomatoes, beans, peppers, squash plants need very little space. If there is a spare corner, you might consider one of these power sources is very rustic. If you work in the yard can be no question, try a window box . haricot If this is impossible (and this is rare), you can develop germinated, grown in pots in your kitchen sink. Thus, microbes are not the fruit (although I am a German medical paper describing the seeds, fruits, grains). Nevertheless, two goals fresh food and cheap health food in its entirety. grew wheat, lentils, alfalfa and other sprouts are loaded with fruit many advantages, such as fiber, minerals and vitamin C.
During the Second World War, rationing, Victory Gardens is a popular and necessary. We need more now. Today we are at war with the two bitter enemies: ignorance and disease. To paraphrase Dickens, beware of ignorance, because he is too often the cause of the disease. We have near Victory Gardens to overcome disease and abject poverty. Again, you can come to him on the ground: the rich are always sick, they have everything to win one. Poor, at the time.
Think of it as an argument against a wall, or rather, outside it. I have taught courses for students in the state prison (no, not as a prisoner). Want to know what you see more? Sick prisoners, processed foods, as well as large open yard behind fences. Am I missing something, or is there an answer? Those with HIV and TB prisoners (who today make up almost half the prison population) is fresh food, RAW. All detainees should be FRESH AIR, especially with double occupancy floors packed. They should work to build their future, their self-esteem, as well as receive parole. That's all for OPEN SPACE-escape-proof, deer-proof, anti-woodchuck fences. What a wonderful place for a garden! In prison, I saw the flower beds, trees and lawns. I do not see an attempt to horticulture and agriculture to feed the prisoners. These cost taxpayers money. This is reduced to their health. Again, the problem in both directions, and you win: either you save money and health, or both.
Do not tell me that the state government or federal government can not start gardens prison. They can, and it would save money. Do not tell me that your district may not allocate land for a public garden. Hey, the taxes you pay? Of course they can.
Do you have a place in the kitchen sink a few pots of sprouting.
Following this approach, a healthy diet will reduce the economic cost of each food, medical care, funeral bills and tax bills. Eating only saves dollars, and many of them. And who can measure the value to be healthy? We have been told for too long, the more money you throw at the problem, the better. Look what someone (you) spend on our prisons, our hospitals, our taxes, our demands. If you feel that you have not received their money and spend less. In the end, this approach is that we have not yet tried.
