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. 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.
