My brothers family eats 'regular' meaning white bread few veggies, and plenty of cheap junk.
They all had a cold and were sick for over a week. I have the same cold. I was totally sick yesterday and today have a headache....I eat the second worst of my own family but in general fruit and veggies a plenty, whole grain/whole wheat. I don't pay for organic. Not to sure it is worth it. (Penn and Teller do an interesting take on organics)
My personal opinion is that the healthy eating is what keeps m family relatively healthy. And my own lousy immune system, combined with my not quite as good as them eating is what let me get sick (but only for a couple days)
So I do think paying what is needed for whole wheat, and plenty of fruits/veggies is worth it. But it isn't that hard. We buy whatever fruit/veggies are on sale, and we try to find good deals combined with coupons for the whole wheat stuff.
