Is the answer to happiness actually hidden in the food that we consume, each and every day?

The thing is, it is actually less expensive to eat lots of fruit and veges and other foods that are good for you, and to avoid the fattening foods. It is totally unnecessary to buy organic foods. Organic is good, but no better than foods which are not organic. Just wash all produce very well, and cook as little as possible. For those of us who are meat eaters, always get good bargains. Do not ever pay full price. Buy up, freeze, and use when wanted. In fact, where possible buy everything when they are at a sale price. It works for me. Eat well, avoid fattening foods (except for ice-cream in my case, and even that is low fat), and do a lot of things. Do not use transport if its possible to walk. If you live in a house you may have a little space outside to make a garden bed, and grow some of your own produce. It doesn't take a lot of space, and the results are good. It's even possible to grow some greens or tomatoes in a large pot. I've done this in the past when I lived in a place which had no land, but did have a good sunny spot. Get plenty of exercise. There's no way that you'll put weight on if you get lots of exercise & are very careful of what you eat. Trust me, eat well, do plenty, and your life will improve. As for spending too much & buying things. Forget it. Buy only what you really want, forget fashions and enjoy life. Be yourself, and forget what the rest of the world is doing, and you'll feel a lot better. There is no law that says you must have everything bigger and newer and better. This is ridiculous and wasteful. Be yourself always and try not to be too influenced by the opinions of others, and you'll be fine. Life is good.
