Eating healthily in small

Submitted by Guest on April 3, 2008 - 08:07.

Eating healthily in small town is easy and cheap, despite the lack of ethnic markets, TJs, or Whole Foods. Every full-sized grocery store has frozen vegetables (which often retain their nutritional value better than fresh), canned or dried beans and lentils, rice, nuts, whole wheat flour, basic spices, and other staples. It's not the most exciting diet, but it's dirt cheap and nutritious.

You're also choosing to live in a very rural area. You have more space and cheaper housing than those of us in urban areas, and a tradeoff is lack of exciting food options.
