We all know it’s important to take care of our bodies and eat wholesome foods. But that doesn’t mean we always do it. Fast food and other types of processed foods are quick and convenient. They’re also often cheaper than buying fresh meats and vegetables to cook for yourself. But if you make the effort to eat more natural foods, your body will probably thank you. Hear Devan try to convince Jeff to go natural with his diet.

Devan: Jeff, why are you eating that garbage again? You’re always eating this processed food full of sugar. Don’t you think it’s time to go organic?
Jeff: I’d like to, but I just don’t have the time, and I don’t really have that much money. I can get a lot of tasty, salty food for cheap and fast.
Devan: I’ve heard that argument a lot, that people don’t eat natural foods because they’re more expensive. But don’t you think that if there was anything you were gonna spend money on, it should be what you put in your body? It’s much more wholesome.
Jeff: My time is the most important thing to me. I’m always on the run. So whatever’s fastest is where I’m going.
Devan: Do you like the way natural food tastes?
Jeff: Yeah, sometimes. It’s alright. But, you know, a lot of times it’s bland. Why, when did you become Miss Wholesome?
Devan: When I realized that feeling good is the greatest gift you can give yourself.
