A great first step in helping America eat more healthy would be greater food stamp credits for purchases such as beets, asparagus, broccoli, you all get what I mean. In NY I saw a woman buy twizzlers and Mountain Dew for her kids lunch on the card, that’s very no bueno in my view.

@MidnightRider On one hand I’m curious to watch how this plays out. Corporations have successfully removed the knowledge/ability regarding how to cook nutritious food out of our society for profits. Healthy eating is at odds with capitalism.

Totally.

Try no refined carbs or sugars & you quickly see the challenge. The bulk of our meals are
poisoned with both.

@LnzyHou @MidnightRider I eat not much packaged foods. Have since my 20’s, but I’m the oddball. Made it thru grad school on homemade soup and biscuits.

@yogapaddlerun @MidnightRider

Good biscuits are worth every gram of flour.

But don’t try to find them in NJ.

@LnzyHou @MidnightRider Helps when you have access to really good butter and flour. Mill City and all.

The only box I gave into was an occassional mac n cheese or cereal box for my kids. Candy and pop was occassional because I didn't want to create the 'forbidden fruit' aura.
Food when your poor is a maze of cost and rebellion and over compensation and guilt as a parent.
I chose organic and gardening. But those choices aren't on everyone's table when trying to survive.
I wish there was a garden on every block and a greenhouse in every neighborhood.💚
