6. Being broke can be good for your health - IF there's a "health food store" nearby!

I've been an ovo-lacto-pescatarian (?) since I was 16 or 17, not from moral principles or diet concerns, but because I hated red meat from the time I was a child!!

At some points in my life, I had very little money for food. Luckily, I could access "health food stores" where various dried whole grains and legumes were sold at less than 50 cents per pound (this was a long time ago), self-scooped into paper bags. With water, a pot, and heat, it was nutrition!
