The cost of Healthy Eating?

[~clover~]

I'm sure everyone wants to eat healthy. When moved out I was forever seeking ways to cook healthy. I worked with a lady in her 60s and I would ask her for ideas. I'd get on Google and look things up. But I guess that's kind of the point - I was motivated.

Unless you live on some remote station, there's always going to be a way to seek information. Be it via a book, internet, GP, friends...

I do find it hard to understand that obtaining information is *impossible*

Noone said obtaining information is impossible. Though it isn't always easy. Its the fact that people think they're doing the right thing, when they aren't. They have no reason to go look up healthier food choices when they don't realise their choices are unhealthy. Meat & 3 veg has always been classed as an average healthy meal. Different ways to cook it are different, but some don't get why steamed veggies are healthier than a saucy veggie bake. They know that they're eating veggies, plus there'd be calcium in the milk/cream that goes into the sauce, so it can't be too bad. When its full of cheese & cholesterol. They think about the veggies they know they are eating. Not the fat that they don't see.

And when your friends are feeding their kids the same foods & they're the foods you grew up on, why would you think twice? Why would you question the way everyone you know eats? Its normal life & better than the cake/chips/ice cream diet you could be eating, so why would the thought of it not being the best diet even cross your mind?
