One of the many rewarding connections I made this weekend was with Seth Braun, an “integral nutritional counselor” who is the author of “Healthy, Fast and Cheap: The Ultimate College Cookbook.” As a budget-busting patron of Whole Foods and the organic food section at Harris-Teeter, I was curious about the notion of an affordable, healthy diet. My interest was particularly piqued because my elder son, Julian, is soon to graduate from high school and, presumably at some point soon, move out of the house. He, too, is nutrition-conscious, but not particularly versed in the realities of what is involved in making sure the income side of the balance sheet consistently exceeds the expense side.
