As a kid growing up, my mom always told me, “Daniel, whenever you have to buy food, be careful and always eat healthy”. These were profound words and I’ve always tried to abide by these rules. However, eating healthy while on a budget is usually a tough decision since ‘eating healthy’ is usually expensive. Also, my busy lifestyle limits my eating options to two international fast food franchises located on the island of Grenada where I reside; KFC and Subway.
