Summary

When I talk about eating healthfully “in a recession” or on a budget, I'm referring to “eating healthfully affordably.” I’m not talking about eating cheap food. I’m talking about eating whole food. I’m talking about considering all the costs of our food consumption – costs to our health, costs to the Earth, costs to the people who produce it, costs to the animals, costs to our spirits. Join me as I offer five suggestions for eating healthfully while being budget-conscious. (This episode is part of our "Compassionate Series," which features favorite companies/organizations/products/experts in the context of the topic. Enjoy!)

0:00.0	And I'm Welcome to Food for Thought. My name is Colleen Patrick Adro from Compassionate Cooks. I founded Compassionate Cooks to empower people, to make

1:01.1	Hi everybody I hope you're very well. It is so lovely to be here with you today
1:06.4	sharing this very special episode. This is our 100th episode. I cannot believe we've done 100 episodes in three years. So this is also our three year anniversary
1:18.9	which we will celebrate in a subsequent episode. So it's a pretty exciting time. I consider it an honor and
1:25.9	a privilege to share my thoughts with you and I'm very grateful to hear from all of
1:30.9	you who tell me the impact the podcast is having on you.
1:34.0	I remember when I recorded the first episode I thought, I don't know who's going to be
1:38.8	listening to this. I have no idea who's going to be listening but I have to do it anyway I have to give it a shot and so I did and so here we are three years and 100 episodes later I was
1:49.5	joking with some friends this weekend these are podcast listeners who became friends and we were
1:54.3	joking that I would leave the podcast and stop doing the podcast after 99 episodes, you know,
1:59.5	and just stop there. The problem is I would never be able to do that because it would
2:03.8	torture me. It would pretty much torture me to just stop at 99 and not do 100.
2:09.1	So now I can rest easy knowing that that will not happen.
2:13.2	The 100th episode is officially done and out there in the world and I won't have to revisit that
2:18.0	kind of stressful contemplation until we're at 199 episodes which will be ways down the road.
