"I Can't Afford to Buy Healthier"

For some families living below the poverty level or on a fixed income, buying healthier really isn't an option. They may not have a car to drive to a supercenter or health food store. Last I checked, most corner marts and gas stations that they'd be within walking distance to don't carry fruits and veggies. Or they may have no time to scout the best prices. Families with extremely tight incomes often spend their time waiting...at the laundromat, at bus stops, etc. There's no time left to hit multiple stores. Some also just have absolutely no money for the higher priced healthier foods.

Which in itself is another problem for another day...why healthier stuff is more expensive than it's more processed counterparts.

But back to the main topic. For the majority of us that are middle class, we can't afford NOT to buy healthier foods. Ignore the double negative for a moment and think about it. By buying the processed stuff in order to shave a few dollars off our grocery bills, we're also setting ourselves up for higher risks of cancer, heart disease, Alzeimer's, etc. Across the nation, our health is quickly getting worse.
