Yet, here you all are, poo pooing anyone who does just that. I think it's ironic that you should post that statement when all you and others like you do is whine on an internet forum 24/7.

Sigh.
Fake? Like 0bama's Julia?

People who buy from health food type stores are possibly the biggest fools of all.

The way to guarantee good pest and chemical free food is to grow it yourself.

Why don't people research what "poor" people do in their communities to alleviate their own poverty before opening threads question why they don't do the things that they are and have been doing for years?

I am making my argument based on what I read in CD. A lot of people complaining about food stamps out there.

I don't think you are privy to such personal information.

I say there is tremendous benefit in teaching young people, and especially those growing up far from real farms, what real food tastes like and that they needn't be dependent on anyone for quality fruits and vegetables.

There is a way of life past generations lost hold of when refrigeration and canned foods came along that is worth reviving.
