How Much Are Food Prices Really Rising? - Blog Entry

OK... I'm new & I'm gonna start out w/ getting blasted by members who've been here since the dawn of time... oh well. If you're going to live frugally, cut out the junk food... as some have said. Ms. Hermitt was economical because she bought "apple juice, Doritos, and toaster pastries, and hot dogs" at 1/2 price? Where's the nutrition in there? That's buying high fructose corn syrup to go w/ your nitrites! Fat & cancer in one package! Now... don't get me wrong... I love all those things, but I haven't had any in year. I raise most of my food in my garden. I have no grass in my yard & when I was in an apartment, I had pots w/ veggies. I had over 30 fruit trees in my yard when I sold the house. I've upgraded to growning my own meat now as well, I decieded that I could live as well if I gave up the city bought a farm. In the city, people shopping at expensive whole food stores would tell me you can't put a price on your health. And yet, they did by living in the city! I grow 100% organic & natural beef, lamb, goat, rabbits & chicken. I'll be adding pigs & turkeys this next year. I had rabbits in my apartment. I know what my meat eats! I know that my veggies are healthy for me. Add to that the clean air of the country & self sufciency... the good life is cheap!!! And, it's cheaper (as well as healthier) if you make it yourself!!!
