How to Stay a Foodie Family on Food Stamps

How to Stay a Foodie Family on Food Stamps   another great article from Civil Eats.  



"It’s surprising how many people will criticize your desire to buy healthy, unprocessed foods on government assistance, while they think nothing of subsidizing the nation’s dependence on medications for type-two diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and other illnesses with a lifestyle component."   Blogger Note:  Type II diabetes may not be "lifestyle induced" as new research is showing that cause and effect may not be what we thought. 

** I will admit that this article is geared more toward the newly expanding whitish middle class, professional degree carrying, home owning, middle class unemployed rather than the urban poorer not as educated, struggling for years, lower income poor.  The very educated white trash middle class is growing everyday in America- I’m one of them.

California Ignores Its Own Scientists on Dangerous Pesticide



And .....
you wonder why I avoid California produce as often as I avoid produce from CHINA???
Eat local from small family farmers, and never from corperate based conglomerates.



Small Farmer= healthy food, supports local economy 
Conglomarates= profit (lots) at any cost to YOU.
Death and illness with extreme health care cost in the end.

You do the math !  Fight for your food.
