In regards to eating meat

[kia]

The veggies and fruits that you have named are very commonly seen is supermarkets and they slighter cheaper. However, we have not as much variety of veggies, fruits... as you guys have like avocados, pumpkin, asparagus, pineapples, mangos, grapes, black and red beans, whole-grain bread, aubergines, yellow peppers, broccoli….among others like seeds (very important) are sometimes difficult and very expensive to get.

Do you have any forests or meadows near your home? If there are any wild areas (not polluted with bug sprays or herbicides) then you could forage for wild fruits, nuts, roots and vegetables that are about 100 times more nutritious than any of those foods you listed.

There are many books on how to identify wild foods. I am learning, and it's fun!

Just an idea to consider! Food doesn't have to cost $$.

You can also grow all sorts of sprouts in a kitchen window. Cheap.

Another idea is to start a community garden in the apartment complex. A few fruit trees and a small patch of land could yield a lot of produce.

Again, just some ideas! Many communities are doing this.

Thanks for the tips. I´m growing herbs in my kitchen window Love the smell of basil
most of us dont have comunity gardens, some have terraces/balconies..

Except from when I´m sick and my mum (old school) convinced me always to have a steak.
According to many alternative doctors, when a person is sick, it's best to eat fresh fruits and vegetables, rather than anything heavy like meat or dairy. The fresh foods have nutrients that help the body's immune system.

Yes, I know. I try to tell her that. She aggress but then she goes all about the lack of iron I might have for not having meat and all her grandmother remedies and blah blah blah she´s only caring and she prepares with love this beautiful food for me to feel better. So I´m just grateful to her and her effort. But yes, I agree with alternative methods.
