Eating good, organic and healthy is recommended by nutritionists. But is it possible to eat well and have fun when you have low income? VS’is the subject of Talk franceinfo. Every evening from 6 p.m., Manon Mella and her guests debate with Internet users on the franceinfo Twitch channel.
While the inflation rate reached 6.6% at the end of August, many food and hygiene products have seen their prices jump since the summer of 2021, in particular pasta, oil, butter, but also l ‘paper towels. However, it is primarily on food purchases that the most precarious households save as a priority. So how do you eat well when you have low income?
Manon Mella receives, to discuss it, Thibaud Villanova alias Gastronogeek and Sandy Olivar Calvo, food campaign manager for GreenPeace France.
Eat first, feel good later
For people with low incomes, food choices are arbitrated by precariousness: eating first, then doing good. Between inflation, rising rental prices and the energy crisis, the current economic context is pushing the households most in difficulty to choose between basic necessities.
Thus, it is often against food that arbitration is made, reducing the diversity of tastes and generating a form of food fatigue. When the prices of pasta and oil soar, how can we feed ourselves at low cost but with ingenuity? On the occasion of the gastronomy festival, we discuss, in the Talk, solutions for eating better and having fun on a small budget.
Join us from 6 p.m. Monday to Friday on the franceinfo Twitch channel to participate in Manon Mella’s Talk. An hour of exchange, clarification, debate around topical and social issues.
