The Cost of Breakfast

Most people assume that eating good food is more expensive than eating lousy food. This is not always true.

Lousy food is highly processed, often travels great distances to market, and requires a lot of advertising to sell it. These are all costs.

I buy good food from small, local producers. In doing so I spend about 60% of what I used to spend when I shopped at the supermarket.

Here, for example, is what my breakfast - a raw milk smoothie - costs:

one cup raw milk, 35 cents, one banana 15 cents, one raw egg 21 cents, one tsp. coconut oil, one tsp. lecithin, two tsp. nutritional yeast, two tsp. cod liver oil, two tablets dry liver approx. 60 cents.

A cup of coffee costs me about 30 cents, so for about a buck and a half I'm done. I've had a nutritious that will stay with me til lunch.
