WOW! I'm surprised that so many people in the Philippines have diabetes. Americans mostly eat junk too! And we really love Trader Joes but it is far from us. Whole Foods is often called "Whole Paycheck" because the food is so expensive.
So we tend to grow our own with a big garden and raising our own healthy meats.
Lets upvote :-)
hi, @mericanhomestead!
I am a huge fan of your youtube videos "American Homestead" few years ago, even before I learned about Steemit.
I even subscribed to your channel. My boyfriend and I almost bought a farm lot here in the Philippines to start our homestead, till plans changed.
You have a point with the price at Whole foods but to be honest it's still cheaper than what I pay here in the Philippines. I do buy some crops on the local markets or on the side of the street but so many times I got so disappointed because most of the time they ran out of good quality produce, one time I bought lettuce at the local market and it was very bitter, maybe because of the soil ph? am not sure
I am so jealous of the number of crops you grow. I hope to visit your homestead in person (maybe when I finally get my USA Visa), woud love to buy some of the canned fruits that your wife makes. ohh they must be good..
Have a good one!
