Eat Local: How to make Natural Ingredients Affordable

This is local eggplant and homemade local tomato sauce. A decadent take on the tradition Italian dish, Eggplant alla parmigiana. But, with NO mozzarella cheese. What a perfect way to have a meatless meal.

I made a quick stop at the supermarket today and I was noticing what the person in front of me was purchasing...all processed foods. This person had a few items less than me and her bill came to $80. I purchased whole foods...mostly organic and a few green cleaning products and I smiled when I rang out at $70. People will always give me the argument that eating organic is too expensive... But what are you buying? I'll spend a dollar or even two on a food that is medicine for my body and when I chose to eliminate all the processed junk food it actually saves me money! I love to eat healthy!
