One of the challenges of eating healthy is that it costs more. Since the Glocal Family isn't rich and we have to count our pennies, Anita's gone out of her way to figure out what to buy where.

So, what does the Glocal Family think of all this, plus an interview with Door to Door Organics.

Things are a little odd this week on the Glocal Family. Due to some missing files, we had to revamp the cast at the last minute and didn't start recording until 11p. So, once we got going, we shared about the recent changes in our diets, what prompted us to drop gluten, dairy, and other things, and allowed Karen Fine to share her gluten free story.
In the process, we also bring up a slew of resources, point you towards a couple movies, and offer other thoughts on how you can bring about changes in your own diet and, in the process, improve your health.
Of course, in all the exhaustion, not everything went well. Joe and Anita forgot to mention the recipe of the week, a GF Chili Mac generously provided by Karen Fine herself.
