Buying Organic on a Tight Budget PDF Print E-mail

You've heard the argument against organic food before: It's too expensive. Since organic food reflects a truer cost of production – at least we hope farmers are receiving a fair price – it carries a premium. And, as we reported, some organic food prices are at record highs.

Still, many people are choosing the more expensive alternative to conventionally grown food – more than 70 percent of Americans buy some organic food, in fact, according to market research by The Hartman Group. Their research also shows that people who earn less than $50,000 per year are buying organic food almost as often as those with higher incomes. (Could organic food be losing its elite status?)

If you're someone who finds the cost of organic food prohibitive, check out how one journalist partnered with a nutritionist to see if a person can eat a healthy organic diet on $7 a day: $50 a week, $200 a month (that's $2 for breakfast, lunch, and dinner each, and $1 a day for a snack).

They even break down the meals for you to show that it's possible to eat well and eat organic on a small income. Of course, it might take a lifestyle change.

Are you an Envirovore?

It's true what our moms said...we are what we eat. In fact, it's truer than they thought. What I eat doesn't just affect me anymore, it affects all of us.

Unfortunately, the story of food can sometimes be complicated. But envirovores help each other out...which is why this blog will be bringing you news, tips, and information about food and the environment every step of the way.
