The cost of eating an ancestral, nourishing diet, vs the cost of eating a conventional, supermarket diet: people are already stretched to the limit on their grocery budgets, so how can we ask them to spend even more on buying more nutritious or local food? Even if it’s important to them, what if the dollars literally do not exist? How are we to eat? These were the questions burning in my mind when I sat down with the Nourishing Traditions cookbook to make a list of ten easy, favorite recipes. I wanted to see how much more expensive they were to make at home with organic ingredients vs buying the cheapest factory version available, to help people figure out how they could accommodate them into their budget, but what I found astonished me. I was not prepared for the fact that almost every single recipe I calculated was actually cheaper to make with local or small-farm, grass-fed, ancestral, organic ingredients. I couldn’t put this episode together fast enough, I was so excited to share it with you!I got rather overambitious and included a total of 20 recipes, five of which are great examples of the local version costing slightly more, and they did not all fit in this episode, so Alison and I recorded an aftershow which is available on our private podcast, Kitchen Table Chats, which is included in the Companionship level of support. Thank you for supporting the podcast and our work! I also dropped all my notes, including my tedious calculations of ingredients, into a document and uploaded it for supporters to download. This document has the titles and page numbers and price breakdown for almost every recipe.
