Potential causes and health effects of rising global food prices

Food Economy

7 September 2009

The current economic crisis makes it difficult for many people to afford a
balanced and nutritious diet. Here are some simple tips on food economy. First,
eliminate all junk food and addictive substances, both of which are very
expensive. Second, stop eating out, and learn to cook at home. Third, compare
the cost and quality of produce at supermarkets, farmers' markets, and
cooperatives. Try to meet local farmers, because they can provide you with
fresh, inexpensive produce and advice about home gardens and composting. If
you invest in good food, you will be rewarded with good health.
