Cheap eats: How to find healthy food

Are you having a hard time stretching your grocery dollars during the current economic downturn? You're not alone. Holly Scherer, R.D., says you can follow a few easy guidelines and still buy healthy foods, rather than switching to a diet of potato chips, macaroni and cheese, and a fast-food burger. She suggests that you make your own coffee, buy fruits and vegetables that are in season, occasionally replace meat with protein sources like eggs and beans, and, no matter how tempting it is, skip the fast-food drive-thru window.

ALL soy is bad for you.It is healthier to buy frozen veggies over canned.Freeze your own veg. Find out the rating on meats allowed in your state,just like school grades,A=excellent quality,B=good....etc., My state is F,yes F=failed,flunked even mexico or poverty ridden countries wldnt take. But not SC,they Flouride our water and feed us diseased meat,dont want to really know much more.

How about portioning? That family at the end was eating two or three servings of meat. You only need one! Better yet, have some beans...

How about suggesting lower cost protein sources? There is protein in many vegetables, beans, nuts, soy. Suggest not drinking juice which is expesive and use those dollars on real fruit. Powdered milk without additives? I think more research could go into this video.
