"Five nutritious items dietitians recommend stocking up on when you're trying to be healthy on a budget"

abc.net.au/news/2022-11-25/hea

1) canned fish, 2) eggs, 3) tinned tomatoes (the photo shows “Italian tomatoes”), 4) carrots, 5) tinned chickpeas, lentils and beans.

Items 1 and 2 are unethical choices (e.g. overfishing, cruelty of aquaculture and factory farming). Eggs aren't that healthy either. Think cholesterol. And don't eat fish too often. It might be high in mercury, especially the larger species.

“Italian tomatoes” aren’t necessarily tomatoes grown in Italy. Google “Italian tomatoes China”. Also, exploitation of refugees and mafia involvement. So, possibly unethical choice, too. Buy Australian tomatoes.

Why “tinned” chickpeas, lentils and beans? They’re cheaper if you buy the dry versions, soak overnight, cook. They freeze well.

Disclosure: I’m not a dietician (I have a PhD in public health). I don’t go to conferences sponsored by the food industry. And I despair about the fact that so much food related research is sponsored by the food industry.
