1 euro per day to spend a healthy life

Is it possible to live in central Europe and eat healthy food on a budget of only 1 euro a day? A Slovenian pharmacologist has done it and now urges the world to learn from his example.

Ales Cerin, a father of four who wants to promote a simple and modest lifestyle, raise awareness of global poverty and over-consumption in the West, discovered he could do it but only if he grew his own vegetables and fruit.

"Consumerism in Western society is exaggerated, particularly if we compare it to the undeveloped world... I want to change that consumer orientation and show how much is enough,” Cerin said.
