We are trying to eat healthily and also introduces more variety of food. But I find our monthly expenditure has doubled due to this and we can't afford really. Is it true that for lower income families, you cannot eat healthy? We added brown rice and more fruits to our diet. At times, we buy organic too. But the prices are very expensive as compared to eating simply and not much variety.
