German Öko-Institute: how much does eating healthy cost?
The research showed that Germans would not have to spend more to eat healthy if they changed their purchasing behaviour (through buying organic food and fair trade products) and coupled this with a change in eating behaviour. The higher cost of organic food can be offset through changing eating habits to include more vegetables and fruit and less meat. Healthy food costs only 81 Euro more (per year) - that is not even seven Euro a month.
