DEL.ICIO.USWhen money is tight, how do you eat healthy?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A couple in California recently decided to find out what it was like for a month to live on just $1 a day for food. Overnight, their diets changed significantly. The budget forced them to give up many store-bought foods and dinners out. Even bread and canned refried beans were too expensive. They experienced what many folks in poverty grapple with every day.
What about you? Have you had to cut back on healthful foods? What have you cut out and what have you kept? Were you able to keep fresh foods in your diet? How did you do it?

Wow…just $1 a day, I guess it would have to be rice and beans for a month and maybe some oatmeal too.
