So I have heard that being vegan will get easier to shop for. I just don’t want to go broke doing this. Like when we were looking for peanut butter my daughter found a peanut butter for $7.99 CRAZY. Soy milk, coconut milk, if it is healthy it cost triple!!!!!! This needs to stop, eat healthy is all you see, it doesn't say eat healthy and go broke doing this.

My daughter is doing a 6th grade exhibition about childhood obesity and doing research on what is healthy and what is not is a real eye opener. Now I do not keep junk food in my house, to the point where she has to ask to go get a candy bar if she wants one. I grew up with junk food in the house, but things were different then we actually got up and went outside and played until we had to go home.

We didn’t realize it then but we were burning more calories than we were taking in.

Because I don’t keep junk food in my house my daughter is not overweight and knows what is healthy and what is not. She know that moderation is key.

Yet I still have to drag her outside, not because she is lazy, because of the way society is and the way schools treat our children, she has become an introvert. I support her choice of expression she draws, take pictures, and writes poems. I support my daughter no matter what she does. I am a proud mom of a beautiful daughter.

So, I guess my question is how do we get healthy food prices to come down? I know that they are making healthy food more inviting to kids and it is working but how do we make it the first choice? How can we make it cheaper? It cannot cost more to produce a healthier product!

I am open for suggestions. Please let me know! Is there something we can put before congress?
