low-income locavores/how do you eat healthy on a budget
Hello all: i just wanted to let you know that I just posted a blog on this subject on my She Writes home page--I'd love to get your guys' comments and opinions. This is a critique that keeps getting leveled at the locavore/ sustainable food movement, but as someone who was brought up by two part-time academics (and let it be known, hippies), I am a testament to the fact that it's possible to eat healthy on very little money. That said, I think one of the saddest scenes in Food Inc. is the one…See More

Low-income Locavores
One of the critiques leveled at the sustainable food movement is that it’s class-ist. Only affluent professionals can afford healthy food, the thinking goes.

And yes, energy-rich, nutrient-poor foods—white bread, orange juice, the “deathless Twinkie”—are…See More

A Raw Deal
The dealer called me at 6:30 P.M."I've got extra stash," she said. "If you can be here in fifteen minutes, I'll wait for you."I threw on my rain jacket, grabbed my purse and ran out the door, forgetting an umbrella in my rush. In fifteen minutes, I was at a dimly lit East Village dive bar. I tried to look casual and unhurried as I wandered past the bar to a back room (where these transactions occur once a month). There I found my dealer in the back room, hunkered over the product I was craving.…See More
