13. Where I live meat is cheap and vegies costly

I'm not advocating for meat. I eat very little meat.

But in my supermarket - maybe depends on the part of the country - I'm in NJ - i could buy a whole chicken (I wouldn't!) for a few dollars.

One organic cauliflower head costs. $ 4 or $5.00

as far as eating non-organic vegies, I do, - if I didn't, I would eat very little fruits and vegies - but I wonder if I am doing myself more harm than good, considering what is in them..

of course if we can grow things, that is the best, not everyone can.
