You can eat healthy on a whole lot less. My family is pretty health conscious (we are all vegetarians, and my mom is pretty much vegan). And I am sure we have never spent 500 a month for a family of three.
Not everything needs to be organic. Some foods usually have low levels of pesticides. And while Whole Foods has high quality food, it is usually pretty expensive. You can get high quality food for less money elsewhere.
That said, at least your food is probably healthy and high quality.
- durin42 17y agoThere are even some foods that are just unsafe organic. Pork (less interesting to you, being vegetarian, bear with me) is not nearly as safe, there's been a rise in trichinosis cases at least related to organic pork. I know I've seen evidence suggesting organic celery is worth avoiding too, but I can't find it now. In any case, agreed that you don't have to spend an arm and a leg to get healthy food. Expensive often doesn't even indicate better food, just more aggressively marketed at suckers that'll pay more.

- jganetsk 17y agoVegetarianism is not isomorphic to healthfulness, but it is healthy. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10627874 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10627874 There is much more research on the topic. It has also been shown that the same benefits arise from "flexitarianism", or limited meat consumption.
