I just went to get ingredients for the Master Cleanse to the local Health Food Store, but they ran out of Grade B Maple Syrup, so I gave Walmart a try (no organic maple syrup there, lol, I should have known), and I SAW what people shopping for food in W had in there carts and OMG I'm so glad I found these videos and met inspiring raw vegans to stop stuffing myself with poison like those overweight Americans and understand how delicate body health is and how vital it is to have a fulfilling life!
OH, COME ON! Have you seen how much chicken breast costs at woolies/coles/IGA & FOODLAND? It's so expensive and it's easy to say SO WHAT but what about the fact that the cost of groceries are going up almost every single day, due to things like natural disasters, recessions, taxes etc? Plus its all the hidden traps that cause ppl to gain weight like health food bars, they are a NO NO because some of them actually contain more sugar than a chocolate bar so that is where ppl get so confused.
@JasonBourne342 They come here and become fat like Americans.
The fact is that a few suppliers are controlling the food supplies.
Frozen dinners and take out dinners are a reason why America is getting fatter.
It is funny how certain politicians think child hood obesity is a joke and to laugh at. This is where we need to start. If our children are going to be fatter than us in 30 years, how is America going to look in 100 years or more?
It is just sad. Got a love this video. Thanks. Natalie
think ireland has the worst everything cause all the healthy stuff is deaerer than the shit stuff like seriously i hate ireland england has even better pricing
People put too much of a priority on time. Thats why we cant eat healthy. I have this theory of pay-now-or-pay-later in life. People dont have 5 minutes to make lunch each night yet they will die 10 years earlier do to not spending that time?. if you pay now and spend 5 minutes of your time, you wont have to pay later by dying early. Its just like school, the unpopular pay now through ridicule, yet the popular pay later through lack of success. wouldnt you rather pay earlier? i would think so.
What great, honest scientific info. I just found you today online randomly - I love what you do. Keep it up. You are going to get through to people. I own a restaurant that offers whole food options. People can make their choice that way. I hope to eventually offer ONLY whole foods - people will have to evolve first. For now - balance - the stuff is available if they make that decision to be healthy. Anyway - Lots of love! You rock!

I lost my job last year so I stopped eating fast food cos I'm now on a budget. I saved a lot of money and lost over 20 lbs that I had gained from eating too much fast food without exercise. That's enough reasons to keep me away from fast food places for good.
I eat out a lot and I am trying to stop. But grocery store foods are NOT that much cheaper if at all! When I go to the store and buy some Fruit and Vegetables I end up spending 30 bucks and they only last me like 3 days! And that's not even organic! Then I bought some super foods and spent almost 100 bucks. I could eat those super foods in one meal!
The bottom line is grocery store food is expensive & much of it isn't healthy because it's the same ingredients restaurants use!
@wavepsychic Grocery store food is NOT more expensive than eating out. I spend $100 or less each week, and that's feeding three people 4-6 meals per day. A great way to stretch your food out is to learn to cook foods that are in season or super healthy. Kale is cheap, and one of the best foods to eat. With the exception of the deli counter, shop the perimeter of the store. Get your store's circular, and scour it for sale items. It's easy to eat cheaply, if you learn how to cook the items.
@dbreidenbach I beg to differ. I don't know where you go grocery shopping at but lets talk Salads. You buy a bag of lettuce that has Lettuce, carrots and red cabbage that's 3 bucks right there. If you buy those separately it would cost more. You buy tomatoes that's 5 bucks. Mushrooms is 2.50. Peppers is another 3 bucks and dressing is 4 bucks. Croutons is 2 if it's on sale. That's 19.50 for a salad w/ bread sticks when you get all those items when you eat out for 6 bucks & with Bread its 11.75.
@wavepsychic I bought a sprouting machine and seeds so now I grow my own salads!!! I just have to buy good organic seeds and that's all!! They have all kinds of flavors. I just sometimes like to get pickles. And sometimes cucumbers and tomatoes and avocados plus fruits. But this sprouting machines gives me an abundance of good nutrients. When they are still sprouts, they can multiply their amounts of proteins by 8 times. When they become salad they exchange proteins for loads of vitamins & miner
I tell that to people all the time... and whenever they tell me that... I say: you can make a pot of soup for 2 euros... what are you talking about?
buying products and make stuff from scratch doesn't only make you save money and it's healthier, the foods will takes better..
My opinion about this matter, as in many other matters, is that people are lazy even in thinking. They don't even make the effort to thing about this. It's is so obvious. They rather just imitate the rest. sad...
I make stuff from scratch. I invented a delicious new soup recipe yesterday made from chicken broth (that I also made from scratch), portobello mushroom stems, and garlic all blended up, and dulse seaweed.
We aren't talking about conveinence when we talk about the cost of healthy organic eating. When you are cooking for a family, not just yourself or for just you and a spouse the cost can be outrageous. It is very close minded and shows your lack of life experience to paint with such a broad brush.
no offense but your argument goes in a big circle.
btw, i am not complaining that health food is expensive i just don't care. I am not fat, i am not unhealthy, but yeah :P i don't eat fast foods really so i guess i am fine. But, you coulda said this entire message in 30 seconds.
I'm 14 and I started eating healthy about a year ago, but my parents always buy junk food for our family. I always tell them to stop eating that crap but they won't listen! And my brothers and sisters eat that crap too! I'm the only one in my family who is not fat..... surprise anyone? I HATE junk food!!!! I can't believe I used to eat that poop when I was younger! My parents never taught me squat about nutrition, so I learned by myself to be healthy!
This is a excellent video! I love it! Everything she talks about I experienced in one way or another. When I started my weight loss journey last year I learned so much about what she is saying on my own. It is really great to see that so many others out there are speaking out and doing something about this issue that I suffered from my entire life. I can now be assured that I am not crazy! Thanks so much for the video!
Excellent vids and much appreciated. Sugar is addictive, destructive, and is forced down the throats of millions of young kids more than ever. This generation is also wired and glued to the tube like never before. It's not to say overall tv, web or electronics are bad things, but maybe a healthier and more moderate balance of non-physical and physical activities will lead to healthier kids and adults. Keep these videos coming Natalie. ;)
Do you drive a car? Dose it run on gas? So you put gas in the tank? Would you PISS in your gas tank? NO? Why? OH, because it would not run very well would it? So... Why do you put garbage in your bodies fuel tank? Remember people, CONVENIENCE IS THE FAT OF AMERICA!
adults "should" be able and aware enough to self educate. BUT all adults have a fucking responsibility to teach our children these quality of life facts. Teach them about the options. So you have chosen to eat crap as an adult and that is too bad! But for the love of Christ dont inflict these self destructive habits on your children. Love them, Care for them, by taking a little extra time and effort to make for them and teach them how to properly fuel the human body.
You are so inspirational... this helped me to think about my priorities in life. Not just with my health but with some of bad bad habits like procrastinating.
True. Fresh produce from the grocery store is so much cheap and healthy than buying a fast food meal. On any given day, I can have a fruity lunch and a bottle of water to gulp down for just 2.50 Canadian dollars. Dinner? a vegetable and nut/seed menu for just under C$5/-. If you eat fiber-rich foods like veggies and fruits and gulp them down with water, you'll never feel hungry again. Not, at least, for a full 4-6 hours after every meal. Vegan for life.
This video went right to my heart & mind. You're truly a wonderful person who really cares about others. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Thank you for caring.
Thank-you for all this great information. I recently saw your video on how to read nutrition labels and I found that very helpful as well. My favorite video is the one one whole vs. processed foods. I'm taking Biology and these videos tie in with my course so well that I do better on the tests because I remember certain things on the video. :)
haha yeah right, it's basically an industrialized wasteland. There's no land to grow on, and no jobs to buy overpriced, gross tasting "organic" foods. Besides, I happen to like the taste of McDonalds and Burger King, and those epic double cheeseburgers only cost a buck.
Strange the connection between epidemic obesity rates and puppet government (run by rich elite corporations & heirs who also benefit from the shares in the drug industry they own too when we get sick) allowing all these GMO/clones/additives/preservatives (that many foreign countries banned/limited).
Natalie, can you adress the issue of sabatoging a healthy diet? I am currently on a healthy weight loss diet but I have been off track for a week now and is looking to get back on track~any motivational tips or suggestions to making a healthy diet a permanent part of our lives?
It takes TIME to make even simple foods from scratch. Poor people have less time than money, in these days of Wal-Mart wages. God forbid someone suggest a woman contributes MORE to her family by cooking than working.
Videos SHOWING how to cook a roast or make homemade soup fast and cheap would be useful.
I am poor. I am a vegan. I feel healthy. I feel good about not taking part in animal cruelty and environmental problems. I am pretty muscular and making some good progress into gaining more bodymass. Bananas, oatmeal, beans, nuts, whole wheat bread, a variety of fruits and vegetables and water is doing the job. I strongly believe that I can get satisfying results even when being a vegan. People, she is right. I know I am right. Cut the crap and stop making up excuses.
Neon, it does a disservice to society when functional medicine focuses on the importance of taking responsibility for one's current health and not acknowledge the cost as a legitimate barrier for many. There is no getting around it, if you want to be healthier, you have to pay more in this society. Organic Foods, nutritional vitamins/suppliments, digestive enzymes are all out of pocket expenses not covered by health insurance :-(
man, I quit making my lunch and taking it to work because other people would eat it! (so having no lunch! the thieves!) that's my excuse why I end up eating elsewhere now! ;-)
Organic foods ARE expensive though, you can't deny that.
I think it's still confidential if we don't know who she's talking about, LOL. I'm stapped for cash, too, but managing to avoid the dollar menu at Mc Barf's. I'm already planning a big veggie garden for 2008, I'm going in with 3 families in my neighborhood. That should save me a ton of money. Where there's a will, there's a way, I guess. Eating well just has to be a priority.
It is true we don't know who she is talking about; however, if I were one of her clients watching this I would wonder if she were talking about me....it seems unprofessional to me to describe a client as a moaner and groaner. Perhaps I was brought up differently...who knows.
Far be it from me to question your upbringing! LOL. I'm glad she brought up her clients problem, because I was able to learn from it, too. Don't medical doctors in teaching hospitals, and psych professors in colleges do the same thing? Perhaps I was just raised differently...
Wendycraig, I'm sure there are medical doctors and psych professors that call their past, present, and future clients moaners, groaners, complainers, hypocrites, lazy, etc...but does that make it right? My upbringing says, no. ;-)
I guess part of my guilt for waste and exploitation is one of the reasons why I no longer buy Kraft Dinner. Ever since I found out that the Kraft company in America used poor exploited migrant workers from Canada to make their Kraft Dinner I've felt so outraged that I have STOPPED buying ANY Kraft Dinner in the future.
I mean just the other day I had two Hot Pockets that came prepackaged in some pretty wasteful plastic packaging. I sort of felt guilty about the packaging even though I am not exactly a clean green earth living person but its was delicious.
I'm getting off the subject, but if you haven't already, watch the Jim Gaffigan stand up routine on Youtube about Hot Pockets. (Just type in Hot Pockets and you'll find it). I obviously don't know you and it may not be your brand of humor, but I find it sooo funny. :)
Still I'll be darned if I am gonna be lectured to about pollution and waste by anyone who can't recognize that all humans on some level have to make some waste in order to survive.
Natalie states, "Now I have this client and he just moans and groans about how expense the grocery bills are. Ok, I swear this guy eats out every night for dinner." I hope your "client" isn't watching this..lol..I guess Clinical Nutritionists don't have to adhere to confidentiality?
I'm not sure her client would agree that he moans and groans. Even if he did, I'm not sure he would want all of youtube land to know....or maybe he does, who knows.
Same for the College Student You're telling me that Eating Healthy isn't expensive? i'm sorry please go to Trader's Joe and tell me what i can Buy for 1 dollar that can descently fill me up compared to Cup of Noodles or Ramen which usually cost less then a dollar.
BTW Starbucks Coffee is famous because the way they make the Coffee... are you telling me you can make a product = the same as Starbucks at home. If so not alot of people can do that.
I sort of agree, but in all honesty it's not that easy, escpecially for people who have jobs which require alot of time Doctors for example and or Buisness Meetings and or Just Busy with Work all the time. Fast Food is CHEAPER and more Convienent regardless of what people think.
You Mean American "ASIAN" food. Do you know there is no 'teriyaki' in Japan? All these sauces are there to satisfy our Western tastebuds. Then again All other countries are now adopting more of a Western diet. Oh well.
IF ASIAN FOOD HAD HIGH AMOUNT OF TRANSFAT THEN ASIA WOULD BE THE LEADERS IN HEART DISEASE and HEART ATTACK.
Use your brain logically please... Eating at Panda Express or some kind of Fast Food chinese restaurant would of course have Trans Fat and ISN'T CONSIDERED REAL ASIAN FOOD.
I agree that people need to do whatever it takes to eat healthy but for some I can see how it might just be inprobable that they would. It really is difficult to find truly healthy foods in American supermarkets at least from my experience. I can't even find real bread for sale anymore! Not to mention many of our vegetables are altered and our milk is packaged in see-through containers etc! I personally would like it if asain cooking got more popular since it seems tastey and healthy.
Natalie: I have been watching your videos for the last 2 days because I got an invite from psychetruth a few months ago and just came upon it a couple of days ago. I think you are the greatest, and I have now subscribed to your site and will always be watching out for the latest videos. Keep up the great work! And by the way: you came across great in your latest video, as you do in ALL of them!
Bagged salad is expensive, wasteful and often prepared by poorly paid migrant workers. Although sold in Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) to keep it fresh, such salads' nutritional value deteriorates in the bag, supported by a 2003 experiment in Italy that found that nutrient levels dropped off sharply after bagging. And it is often washed in a chlorine solution of a greater concentration than the local swimming pool.
Chemicals in the processing aside migrant workers have minds of their own. If they feel exploited by deciding to go work for American farmers then there are still many other avenues that they can choose to use world wide or in America to get by. I've heard stories of migrant workers coming to America and getting fairly well paid jobs in things like the trucking industry.
Oh and weather its the chlorine thats used to clean prepackaged and read to eat salad or the pesticides we all get on our heads of lettuce some where along the line someone has to have the common sense to rinse the yuck from off our food which will go down INTO the drains of our water supply.
Great video as usual. I think now that I'm eating healthy (thanks to you) I'm actually saving money. For example at the health food store I get quinoa for $1.99 a pound and extra firm tofu for $1.99. At the grocery store a huge 2 lb. box of oatmeal costs $4.49 and supplies about 20 meals. A 46oz can of vegetable juice just $2.49. Frozen vegetables and whole walnuts are cheap. Bananas, apples and whole wheat pasta are not expensive either. The list goes on and on.
Natalie, which video of yours breaks down the carb/protein/fat ratio? I remember you mentioning it in the comments of another video you did recently but I cannot find it.
Great video, but I do have to state from my own budgeting experience that even when bargain shopping, eating healthy IS more expensive. I am not making excuses because I eat healthy, I prefer it. But this is a fact of life.
I agree with you on the subject of this video. Still, if you'd spend a little time talking about Processed Free Glutamic Acid (MSG) and how it causes Migraine, Tinnitus, Arrhythmia (which can lead to death in the short term), Vertigo, Tachycardia, etcetera, you'd be doing your adoring fans so much more good...ya know? Wait, let me guess, you know nothing about that, right? :-(
Why not make a video on it yourself if you're well informed about the topic? I'm always interested in hearing about stuff no one will talk about when it comes to what's really going on with our food...
Like I've told a couple of the people who make the videos, she's much better in front of a camera than I am and she already has a "following". I did study it extensively after my daughter Katrina died of complications from a mysterious heart attack that I suspect was contributed to by the Excitotoxins (MSG/Aspartame) she ingested that day.
I wish i could stop eating. i wish could fade out of existence. I love watching these videos because they remind me of everything I will never be able to accomplish.
This comment is for Natalie. Thank you for your helpful vidios. I'm 36, a truck driver who works 6 days a week, & overweight. I would love to eat better but I have no idea how to eat anything but junk & fastfood. I like this clip but could you please make a vidio with some suggestions of what to buy at the store & some good but easy meals that are healthy to eat. Maybee a top 10 healthy meals you can fix easily. Thanks again.
At McDonalds, it costs less to have 2 double cheeseburgers than to have 2 regular chese burgers. OR You actualy can order 2 dbl chesse burgers AND 2 McChicken for $4.00!!!!
I just went to get ingredients for the Master Cleanse to the local Health Food Store, but they ran out of Grade B Maple Syrup, so I gave Walmart a try (no organic maple syrup there, lol, I should have known), and I SAW what people shopping for food in W had in there carts and OMG I'm so glad I found these videos and met inspiring raw vegans to stop stuffing myself with poison like those overweight Americans and understand how delicate body health is and how vital it is to have a fulfilling life!

So you have chosen to eat crap as an adult and that is too bad! But for the love of Christ dont inflict these self destructive habits on your children. Love them, Care for them, by taking a little extra time and effort to make for them and teach them how to properly fuel the human body.

You are so inspirational... this helped me to think about my priorities in life. Not just with my health but with some of bad bad habits like procrastinating.

True. Fresh produce from the grocery store is so much cheap and healthy than buying a fast food meal. On any given day, I can have a fruity lunch and a bottle of water to gulp down for just 2.50 Canadian dollars. Dinner? a vegetable and nut/seed menu for just under C$5/-. If you eat fiber-rich foods like veggies and fruits and gulp them down with water, you'll never feel hungry again. Not, at least, for a full 4-6 hours after every meal. Vegan for life.

It takes TIME to make even simple foods from scratch. Poor people have less time than money, in these days of Wal-Mart wages. God forbid someone suggest a woman contributes MORE to her family by cooking than working.
Videos SHOWING how to cook a roast or make homemade soup fast and cheap would be useful.

I am poor. I am a vegan. I feel healthy. I feel good about not taking part in animal cruelty and environmental problems. I am pretty muscular and making some good progress into gaining more bodymass. Bananas, oatmeal, beans, nuts, whole wheat bread, a variety of fruits and vegetables and water is doing the job. I strongly believe that I can get satisfying results even when being a vegan. People, she is right. I know I am right. Cut the crap and stop making up excuses.

Neon, it does a disservice to society when functional medicine focuses on the importance of taking responsibility for one's current health and not acknowledge the cost as a legitimate barrier for many. There is no getting around it, if you want to be healthier, you have to pay more in this society. Organic Foods, nutritional vitamins/suppliments, digestive enzymes are all out of pocket expenses not covered by health insurance :-(

man, I quit making my lunch and taking it to work because other people would eat it! (so having no lunch! the thieves!) that's my excuse why I end up eating elsewhere now! ;-)

I think it's still confidential if we don't know who she's talking about, LOL. I'm stapped for cash, too, but managing to avoid the dollar menu at Mc Barf's. I'm already planning a big veggie garden for 2008, I'm going in with 3 families in my neighborhood. That should save me a ton of money. Where there's a will, there's a way, I guess. Eating well just has to be a priority.

It is true we don't know who she is talking about; however, if I were one of her clients watching this I would wonder if she were talking about me....it seems unprofessional to me to describe a client as a moaner and groaner. Perhaps I was brought up differently...who knows.
052970 4 years ago
Far be it from me to question your upbringing! LOL. I'm glad she brought up her clients problem, because I was able to learn from it, too. Don't medical doctors in teaching hospitals, and psych professors in colleges do the same thing? Perhaps I was just raised differently...
wendycraig 4 years ago
Wendycraig, I'm sure there are medical doctors and psych professors that call their past, present, and future clients moaners, groaners, complainers, hypocrites, lazy, etc...but does that make it right? My upbringing says, no. ;-)

I guess part of my guilt for waste and exploitation is one of the reasons why I no longer buy Kraft Dinner. Ever since I found out that the Kraft company in America used poor exploited migrant workers from Canada to make their Kraft Dinner I've felt so outraged that I have STOPPED buying ANY Kraft Dinner in the future.
Seabrook78in 4 years ago
I mean just the other day I had two Hot Pockets that came prepackaged in some pretty wasteful plastic packaging. I sort of felt guilty about the packaging even though I am not exactly a clean green earth living person but its was delicious.

I'm getting off the subject, but if you haven't already, watch the Jim Gaffigan stand up routine on Youtube about Hot Pockets. (Just type in Hot Pockets and you'll find it). I obviously don't know you and it may not be your brand of humor, but I find it sooo funny. :)

Maybe thats was her point. She didn't use the clients name but she could use the video to highlight her clients situation.

a roast and 1 pound of carrots is not cheaper than fast food.
RoyalKrush 4 years ago
Roast is usually only about $4.50 pound.
You could buy a 2 pound roast, carrots and potatoes and feed four people for about 11 dollars.
Unless the only thing your eating in the fast food is 2 dollar menu items, the roast and veggies is cheaper.

I agree that people need to do whatever it takes to eat healthy but for some I can see how it might just be inprobable that they would. It really is difficult to find truly healthy foods in American supermarkets at least from my experience. I can't even find real bread for sale anymore! Not to mention many of our vegetables are altered and our milk is packaged in see-through containers etc! I personally would like it if asain cooking got more popular since it seems tastey and healthy.

Well what would you do if you wanted a tossed salad on the go?
Seabrook78in 4 years ago
Bagged salad is a good convenient thing to pick up at the supermarket.
Seabrook78in 4 years ago
Bagged salad is expensive, wasteful and often prepared by poorly paid migrant workers. Although sold in Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) to keep it fresh, such salads' nutritional value deteriorates in the bag, supported by a 2003 experiment in Italy that found that nutrient levels dropped off sharply after bagging. And it is often washed in a chlorine solution of a greater concentration than the local swimming pool.
dooglus 4 years ago 4
Chemicals in the processing aside migrant workers have minds of their own. If they feel exploited by deciding to go work for American farmers then there are still many other avenues that they can choose to use world wide or in America to get by. I've heard stories of migrant workers coming to America and getting fairly well paid jobs in things like the trucking industry.
Seabrook78in 4 years ago
Oh and weather its the chlorine thats used to clean prepackaged and read to eat salad or the pesticides we all get on our heads of lettuce some where along the line someone has to have the common sense to rinse the yuck from off our food which will go down INTO the drains of our water supply.

Great video as usual. I think now that I'm eating healthy (thanks to you) I'm actually saving money. For example at the health food store I get quinoa for $1.99 a pound and extra firm tofu for $1.99. At the grocery store a huge 2 lb. box of oatmeal costs $4.49 and supplies about 20 meals. A 46oz can of vegetable juice just $2.49. Frozen vegetables and whole walnuts are cheap. Bananas, apples and whole wheat pasta are not expensive either. The list goes on and on.

Natalie, which video of yours breaks down the carb/protein/fat ratio? I remember you mentioning it in the comments of another video you did recently but I cannot find it.
Great video, but I do have to state from my own budgeting experience that even when bargain shopping, eating healthy IS more expensive. I am not making excuses because I eat healthy, I prefer it. But this is a fact of life.
Merry Christmas.

Like I've told a couple of the people who make the videos, she's much better in front of a camera than I am and she already has a "following". I did study it extensively after my daughter Katrina died of complications from a mysterious heart attack that I suspect was contributed to by the Excitotoxins (MSG/Aspartame) she ingested that day.
