About that healthier food being more expensive. The markets in Calgary here are much better than Edmonton especially right now, for at least trying to get less contaminated food. Vancouver was the same for fresh food, generally with the Valley all about the food was good and not worth your kidneys.
“Health food” (the prepackaged kind anyway) is likely to have just as much unnecessary stuff as the normal BAD stuff. So really to only way to go about it is learn to cook, and use as fresh as ingredients as possible.
After all that I am a little worried my genes are going to kick in and get me in the end no matter how much I get chased around the field.
