How difficult is it to buy a couple of yellow squash, cut them, boil them, add some salt and pepper and eat? It takes all of about 5 minutes of actual work time. You are then more guaranteed not to be eating things like preservatives or throwing plastic containers into the waste bin.
Even easier, grab some leave spinach. Put a little salad dressing on it. Mix it and eat it. Or try some sesame seeds and soy sauce (image below)
It is also easy to grab many other fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, and grains and eat them in a similar amount of time.
We’ve all heard how important a variety of fruits and vegetables are to being healthy and feeling good. Why wouldn’t you want to feel good? Why wouldn’t you want to be healthy? It only takes an additional 5 minutes of time in many cases. What’s the problem with that?
Oh, and most important in today’s economy... it is MUCH CHEAPER! You can have a wonderful meal for around $3 per person! And if you want to splurge, you can do it for $5-10. That is still way cheaper than eating at a restaurant, and considerably cheaper than buying pre-packaged foods.
I know people that spend $1000+ per month just for food. They could be eating better food for half that easily!
So in summary, get fruits, vegetables and beans and make them yourself, and you will feel better, be healthier, and have more money left for other things in life.
