The less money you have, the better you can eat.

That sounds odd, but it can be true.  So often people think that only when you're in the chips (cash, not the potato kind) can you have a good diet.  Raspberries in February, organic baby veggies from Spain, 89-grain organic bread that was made at the hand of Bolivian monks who never watch television, meat from cows that spent time in a spa -- you name it.

It's easy to think there's no way a family with a modest budget -- even more modest, nowadays -- can have a healthy and decent diet without hawking the house.
</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Diet/story?id=5196381&page=1"><P>
It's a huge mistake to think that good healthy food has to cost a bundle.  Sure, some of it does, but junk food is even more expensive in the long run. It's not so healthy, and it's loaded with calories, fat, salt and sugar.  Even if it's free, it's not a bargain.
</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Diet/story?id=5196381&page=1"><P>
The point is that big budget or small, your diet can be great or terrible.  Since most people feel the financial pinch these days, let's examine how to eat well for less.
