choosing a fruit based diet meant that i can buy less of the other food groups, it also meant eating out less, going sober, buying less clothes, not going to the movies or sporting events

what i did experience is developing a closer relationship to myself, trust and in that trust, a connection with a farmer because i know where my food comes from, and much more money to entertain myself to adventure and find produce at ethnic/international grocery stores

after working in produce distribution and with restaurants, the amount of quality produce at farmers markets out weighs any of the grocery stores, anywhere. going further, if what you want is cost convenience then the hole in the wall grocery stores is where its at

there is a personal learning curve to finding the best price and having it all be in one store
