Yeah! That’s true! Due to recession, people moved to find ways to choose food that can be substituted from the expensive types. But they make sure it’s still tasty and soothing to the taste. People should start being thrifty. They should reserve their cash for health purposes, which matters the most.

I’ve definitely felt the pinch lately, and compared to my shopping habits of even a year ago, I am buying way less fish and red meat. My principles have taken a backseat as well – once upon a time, I only bought free-range or wild meat, but now there is no way I can justify giving Whole Foods so much of my disposable income. So my compromise is to buy free-range chicken, usually breasts mixed with cheaper cuts like thighs so that I can be economical but also maintain some standard of principle. It is difficult at times, but when I remember that most of the world eats recession food all the time, it puts things in perspective.
