Kitchen Garden
My wife has always valued good food, and by that, she means non-processed, locally grown or raised food that hasn’t been treated by thousands of chemicals or been exposed to a multitude of antibiotics. So we have our own vegetable garden in our backyard and buy food from a local food co-op and cattle ranch. As someone who grew up loving McDonalds and Mountain Dew I’ll admit that it has taken me a while to get used to it. But I have come to realize that the food is better and obviously healthier.
I encourage everyone to consider having their own “kitchen garden” in their yard (or even on their windowsill) to grow tomatoes, green beans and other vegetables. It can be hard work, but it is well worth the effort, and man was not made to sit in front of a computer or TV screen all day eating processed food anyway. And you won’t be alone: I just read that First Lady Michelle Obama is going to grow one in her backyard as well.
Maybe they can shred the stimulus bill and the budget and use them for mulch.
