The common misconception about healthy eating is that it is, in itself, an expensive undertaking. In a world where we’re all struggling to make ends meet, having to spend more than necessary is the furthest thing anyone wants to do. However, healthy eating as expensive can be far from the truth. In fact, you can stay healthy on a budget and save some money. In this episode, Jason Wrobel and Whitney Lauritsen talk to Toni Okamoto about vegan couponing that helps you with financial security as well as relieve food stress. Toni is the founder of Plant-Based on a Budget, a popular website and meal plan that shows you how to save dough by eating veggies. Through this conversation, she talks about how she manages to help others live and eat healthily without worrying about their COVID-19 budget, especially as we are in survival mode. Touching on the prevailing judgment and harassment on social media about our food choices, Toni, Jason, and Whitney then discuss the vegan infighting going on. They dive deep into food privilege, social media bullying, and money shame. Join in on this honest conversation where they talk more about our health and finances, and, most of all, remind us to have compassion for how others live.
