You may want expensive food. But, you can easily find food that is good for you that is inexpensive. I have no control over your wants. There is only one person who can control that. I think you know the guy.
My understanding of grocery shopping and cart pushing is naive and closed-minded, because for the first time in my life, I have to directly go get what I will eat. I'm aware that cheap, healthy alternatives exist, but I can't find them. Farmer's market have to up price to compete with big-ass distributors. Whole Foods and Trader Joe's are way off my ****ing radar in terms of price. Its Costco, Shop n Save, and sometimes Walmart that I'm working with and that's even pushing it. Aldis sustains me. Given some time and maturity, I may find a good sustainable (not that hippy green bull****) diet for myself that I can actually afford. This will take time, but
EXCUSE IMMINENT
my mind has been wrapped up in school so I don't like to spend a lot of time contemplating the intricacies of a sensible diet for me. I'm spreading my focus pretty thin, and its about to rip. Hopefully, I can eventually get involved with a legitimate coach and track team (assuming this is my thing) who can physically, mentally, and emotionally abuse me until I get into this habit.
I've always been a masochist. Diet, as it seems, is no exception.
