This morning on my local news station here in DC, I saw a report that grabbed my attention. One of the biggest things that people site for not eating healthy is cost. One of our local co-ops have started a program that was used back during the Depression, using their own money system. You earn money based on hours of volunteer service to the co-op...one hour equals $10...that you can spend to purchase goods from the establishment. Not sure if this is a doable thing for every co-op but definitely worth exploring/suggestion in your local areas.
Just in case you need a list of co-op...you can find them via state at
