Eating Good in your Hood

Do you remember when you were younger how far $1 would go? One Dollar could buy you a quarter water, chips, cookies and a piece of candy! Even thou the combination of treats we ate had absolutely no nutritional value, they were a quick fix to after school hunger.

Junk food is a quick handy remedy to hunger that's pocket friendly. Brightly colored wrappers and snappy advertisements help to stir up cravings for these fat packed snacks!  From Dollar slices to $2 dollar chicken meals, its hard to pass up a good bargain when it comes to eating out.


Everywhere you go, there are fast food chains with price friendly food specials that try to lure people in. Dollar Menus are great for people who only have a few dollars to spare. These Fun foods pack on weight and directly contribute to the Obesity Epidemic that plagues America today.

Why is it Cheaper to Make bad Choices and More expensive to Make Good ones?!

Poor people buy cheap because they have no other choice!
These days everyone is trying to stay afloat and food options are limited. Organic foods, Green salads and fresh vegetables cost more and are less filling. Imagine families with 2 to 3 children to feed, their monthly food bills must be startling. This is why many large families focus on purchasing grains over vegetables. Rice and pastas are low in cost, providing a large family a hearty meal that's filling each day.


People tend to purchase what they can afford. Often times the foods people purchase are high in sodium or sugars, which can lead to health problems when eaten regularly. So what can people do? Well we can start by making smart choices with our meals. Even on a budget it is imperative for us to make healthier choices. We have to learn how to eat!

 
Chyna's Radical Thoughts:
I often wonder if its all by design. A systematic way to keep people oppressed and dependent on Doctors! Fatty foods lead to obesity, obesity leads to ailments, ailments lead to expensive medications or possible Surgery. So if you can afford good food you are screwed? Hhmmm
Slaves were given the unwanted discarded portions of meat by their Masters.These unwanted scraps were the fatty portions of beef and pork we often see in Supermarkets today. These fatty cuts are very inexpensive. Oxtails, Cow feet, Neck bones are the main ingredient to many popular soul food dishes. Food links us to our history.You do the Math because it all adds up!


Talk is Cheap! Drop a dime on em please!
