Don’t Buy SPAM, Buy Almonds

Health Add comments

If you watch the news you will see that in hard times people will buy SPAM.  Please don’t do this.  SPAM is bad for you.

Almonds on the other hand provide quality nutrition and actually costs less per calorie:

SPAM

Cost: $3.29 (Peapod)

Total calories: 1044

Cost per 1000 calories: $3.15

Raw Almonds

Cost: $4.49 (Trader Joe’s)

Total calories: 2880

Cost per 1000 calories: $1.56

Your body needs a certain amount of calories per day so it make sence to compare how much you are paying for the calories you eat as well as the source from which you get them.  So if you are going to buy food that is bad for you please don’t use the excuse that you can’t afford to eat healthy.

Here are some foods cheaper and healthier than SPAM (all from Trader Joe’s):

  • Brown Rice
  • Raw Sunflower Seeds
  • Organic Peanut Butter
  • Olive Oil
  • Toasted Oatmeal Flakes
  • Whole Wheat Pasta
  • Organic Butter
  • Raw Brazil Nuts
