Inexpensive, Healthy Food?

Hello!

A former President of Trader Joe's is opening a grocery store that will have soon-to-expire foods for a very low price. The article below shows a photo of apples on sale for 49 cents per pound. WOOHOO! I am so happy that consumers will have a very cheap option for buying produce and other healthy food options.

Currently, consumers who don't or can't pay for healthy options find themselves purchasing cheap packages of processed foods or going through the drive thru for dinner on their way home. I am hoping that this store will provide families with an opportunity to not feel threatened by the expensive pricing of healthy food and begin to feed their children with wholesome nutrients.

How important is it to eat natural, nutrient-filled foods? VERY IMPORTANT! Especially for growing children. Today, obesity has struck over 1/3 of the child population in America. A lot of this has to do with the child not having healthy meals at home. Many pantries are filled with processed and sugar-filled foods that are damaging the health of our little ones.

While I believe that every consumer has a choice to purchase whatever they feel, I am so happy that there will be more inexpensive options for wholesome food.
