They say you don’t necessarily live longer if you have a healthy lifestyle, it just seems longer, but when we have more available, affordable fresh foods to choose between than ever before, how can you NOT find something both healthy AND tasty to feed your family, whether your kids are fussy eaters or not?
Cheap and healthy eating is not a myth
One of the food myths that frequently gets repeated is that the unhealthiest foods are the cheapest and families on low incomes only resort to eating them because they have no choice. Jamie Oliver was interviewed about his latest campaign to revolutionise poultry farming with the Channel 4 programme Jamie’s Fowl Dinners.
The implication was that Jamie was mistaken to suggest that free range chicken is affordable for everyone, but it’s true – and I speak as someone whose weekly grocery budget is on occasion limited to around £40 per week. Of course it’s tempting to ignore the downside of cheap chicken, ie. appalling conditions, the lousy quality of the meat, struggling British farmers, health and hygiene issues etc, when you can get 2 factory-farmed chickens for a fiver, but by spending around £8 you’ll have a good-size free range chicken without worrying about any of the above problems.
Eat better quality for less
The trick is to eat better quality meat in smaller quantities, and it’s easy enough to save money on own-brand toiletries and buy the cheapest crisps, biscuits, bin liners, washing-up liquid, etc, so you’ll spend more where it matters; on good quality meat, organic milk, free range chicken and eggs.
Healthy eating should be a priority
It seems to me that some parents care more about what their children WEAR than what they EAT, and too many mums are hung up on the idea that they’re too busy to cook, or they constantly give in to their children’s demands for junk food and fizzy drinks, which is like avoiding a tantrum now and risking a heart attack later on.
Miracle foods come and go, but whether the current flavour of the month is wheat grass, alfalfa sprouts or goji berries, the name of the game of feeding good food to your family without chaining yourself to the kitchen and depriving your kids of the things they like to eat is that actually, there’s no secret. The answer was here all along.
