How much does it really cost to eat high-quality, locally sourced food? In this episode of Symposium Podcast, we break down the numbers.

Meat: 10-15 euros per kilo

I buy meat directly from farmers. By choosing a blend, I ensure an optimal omega-6 to omega-3 ratio without breaking the bank. The price ranges from 10 to 15 euros per kilo, depending on the cut.

Eggs: 40 cents each

Organic eggs from the producer cost me 40 cents each. That's a fair price for eggs from hens raised ethically.

Fruit and vegetables: Reasonable prices from a trusted greengrocer

I rely on a local greengrocer for fresh produce. The prices are reasonable, and the quality is top-notch.

The takeaway: Eating well doesn't have to be expensive. With a little effort to source directly from farmers and local shops, you can enjoy nutritious, ethically produced food without spending a fortune.
