Believe it or not, there are many foods that you can by that are less than one dollar. Yes, I said less than one dollar!
Apples are one of these cheap foods that are very healthy for you. And they usually cost from 40 cents to 80 cents each.
An apple is a great snack you can enjoy with caramel, a salad, or pretty much anything for that matter.
Another great food that is, again, less than a dollar is a banana.
A banana cost about 45 cents and contains 121 calories, 3.5 grams of fiber, 14% your daily value for potassium, and 20% your daily value in vitamin C.
Oranges at the insane price of 40 cents, contain a daily value of vitamin C of 200%.
Other foods such as a bag of baby carrots, pears, yogert, canned beans, and canned tomatos all cost under a dollar and give people nutrition will having good flavor.
All of these foods are alternate choices for the unhealthy dollar foods such as the junior bacon cheese burger, crispy chicken sandwich, the mcdouble, and a five piece chicken nuggets that you can buy from many fast food places. So next time, hit up a grocery store instead and get a couple bananas, apples, or whatever else healthier you can find.

Want to live LONGER?

Living longer focuses strongly on what a person consumes on a daily basis. A food that people should consider eating more is broccoli. Broccoli contains sulforaphane that fights off free radicals and eliminate the body of toxins that cause heart disease, aging, and cancer. Lycopene, that is contained most vegetables that are red, helps to reduce risk of disease and aging as well in recent studies. Vegetables which contain vitamin A boost a persons vision, healthy skin, and reduces some cancers. Generally fruits and vegetables are the main food groups in which contribute to living a longer healthier life. Buying organic makes the fruits and vegetables even higher in their concentration of sulforaphane, lycopene, and vitamin A.

Well.. Guess I can't buy my chicken nuggets anymore..

Ice Cream? Nope, this image shows what mechanically separated chicken looks like. Mass chicken producing companies do this to remove all of the bones from the chicken meat easier. This sludgy looking substance is what our precious chicken nuggets are. Disgusting. It makes me never want to eat a delicious chicken nugget ever again. This method does not seem healthy for people to eat at all. But is it? People would be much better off not getting chicken nuggets. Doing this process for meat has been banned because the spinal and brain tissue can not be processed out by these machines so the meat would contain mad cow disease. Chicken is the only processed food that is allowed to be made through these machines. The FSIS said that this process was safe for the making of chicken. The process acts as a cheaper way for companies to produce this meat that so many Americans intake everyday.
Please comment on this issue and let me know how you feel about our chicken being made like this.
