| The blog about the folks living on 1 dollar a day is getting a lot of press... funny thing is we already eat that way most of the time, as we prefer that food. Oatmeal is one of the best foods a human ( or horse ) can eat, and my son prefers that over any other breakfast. We eat a lot of rice too, as we like chinese and indian food, and also make a large pot of beans once a week. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are a staple around my house for quick lunch, or snacks. If you didn't get to read it, google 1 dollar per day couple, and read their blog. People of the USA are so spoiled to the cheap abundance found in our groceries stores. We have the cheapest food prices on the planet, except in countries where the government subsidizes certains staples ( tortillas in mexico and wheat and flour in Egypt ) to help their poor population. Have you looked into sprouts>? We sprout a lot of our own, using mung bean seeds and alfalfa seeds... A new book I just got off Amazon from a used book dealer, is called sailing the farm, and it's about what foods and sprouts can be grown on board a 30 foot sailboat... It's one of the BEST books I have read about food storage, nutrition and how to make food iin a small enclosed space... If they can do it cheaply and nutritiously on a sailboat, surely you could do the same in a small city lot. Sailing the Farm, by Ken Neumeyer... I would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more about food storage, sprouting and growing vegetables in a small space. mel |

I lived/sailed aboard my
I lived/sailed aboard my 20' Flicka for fine years. Sailing the Farm was my bible. Dove for lobster, fish and seaweed as primary foods. Harvested whatever islands offered. Also, "Living on 12 volts " is good resource.
Fair winds,
