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.

Organic food can be more expensive due to the way it is grown. I won't say that organic food is more for Pple who can afford. There are many online food stores eg NTUC or open taste which always have promotion on their organic items. Brown rice is healthy but it will take longer time to digest. I usually mix with white rice to give a more balance meal. If u go to farms in cck area, they will have a bazaar where they encourage Pple to eat well and healthily. The food are not expensive and are v fresh. Health comes with cost but having said that, a healthy body is a happy person and u are saving on ur medical bills :)
