    Just wondering when this movie will be available on Amazon Canada?

    I just watched most of this documentary and while I can say I am impressed, at the same time I am discouraged. Not everyone has the means with which to purchase nuts that aren’t in a can, or to afford high temperature, organic oils that are better for cooking with than olive. Not to mention, the homes that were featured in the movie were places where it seemed like millionaires would live in.

    While this diet sounds great and looks great, I don’t think it’s economically affordable or feasible for many Americans and I’m sad to say, I’ll just stick with what I’ve been doing, which is the best with what I have.

      Mama_Boog, it’s either pay now, or you might be paying more later…

        Please tell me more about how a single mother with 2 children is supposed to afford what was featured on the movie.

          It takes work to budget it out. I found a local produce store with better prices. I don’t do all organic but as much as I can. I sub some of the stuff for cheaper alternatives that are all-natural. I also find that I only eat what is here and I spend less because I don’t buy all the other crap. Rip says most families rotate 6 meals all week. Also, I save money on medical expenses from the arthritis and IBS etc I had before eating right. I buy boxed bulk of almond milk at Costco (sometimes rice). Even Aldi has some organic alternatives and produce (same owners at Trader Joe’s!). It can be done with careful planning and budgeting.

            beans and rice and nuts and oatmeal are the basics… not expensive, especially considering how many nuts you are supposed to eat… not many.

            Wow @ the people assuming I’m buying prepared snacks full of additives or feeding my kids McDonald’s. That’s really a stretch of an assumption, considering you don’t even type all of your words out and use internet jargon for majority of your reply. That’s quite ugly of you and unappreciated.

            You also have to understand that some places in the US have SIGNIFICANTLY higher food prices than other locations. When I lived in upstate NY and even in NW Indiana, prices were HARDLY as expensive as they are here in North Carolina. Also, the choices I have in this “backwoods” sort of area are slim to none: one farmer’s market is huge, but actually IMPORTS their overpriced fruits and vegetables from New Zealand, while maintaining they grow everything themselves and nothing is imported, while the other shuts down during winter time, though its prices are far more affordable and convenient to what I need to eat.

            Anyway, if you all want to bash instead of try to help, that’s fine, but it’s really an unappreciated move. When people ask questions and ask for help, you should try to help them, not put them down and assume things that may or may not be true about them.

      omg! I am shocked to read this post. 1. I am a mother of 2 with a husband that has been unemployed for more than a yr with NO food stamps, living mostly with an annual income of $27,000. 2. buying vegetable is more affordable than buying precooked.

      A few years ago I prepare a project with my oldest son on healthy eating and in a budget for the math expo at his school.(btw he got 1st place) A realistic weekly budget.
      a budget which was and has been part of our lifestyle for more than 6 yrs. My weekly budget is $75 for a family of 4. If its not on sale and DON’T need it, don’t buy it. Beside I only shop the perimeter of the store. I don’t buy any prepacked snack, cookies or food.

      when my kids want cookies, I bring them into the kitchen and bake from scratch cookies for them. its one way of them learning good eating habits. more or less what is in the food they eat.

      Maybe you should stop buying soda, cookies juices, chips and everything else is in the middle of the store and eating out( mcD, etc)

      having money or not has nothing to do with wanting to eat a healthy balance diet. you just have to learn how to apply yourself to make this happen.
