The Thirty Dollar Project
by pavonne
Recently, I was inspired by a flickr friend to eat healthy for one week with $30.75 in my pocket. My flickr friend was inspired by Cory Booker, mayor of Newark, NJ, who tried to eat with the same amount of money but he didn't have variety, his caffeine and a few other issues. My flickr friend, John, posted what he ate and some of the nutrients he consumed. Stop by and see what he ate: flic.kr/s/aHsjD7yJhT
As a nutritionist, I encouraged him to make healthier choices and I decided to try this, although I still had family members to feed. John tried a second week and improved his choices to support health.
We both learned a few things and if you have time, take a look at healthy food choices and our dialog. It was a wonderful learning experience!
