After a trip to the grocers and Trader Joes, I’m feeling deflated. Frustrated at the cost of good, clean food. I’m not referring to package, pre-made food. Good, wholesome fruits, vegetables and pure meat. I cook every meal from scratch except for the occasional pizza(which I always regret after we bring it home) so I can’t really find a place to cut my spending.
Then I read today that the government has just now approved WIC to receive fresh fruits and vegetables! Absolutely insane. There is no excuse in this! I can’t imagine for myself, let alone for my children, not buying fresh fruits and vegetables. Many woman out there simply cannot afford nor have the time to have their own garden and rely on state help. If this country does not start paying some attention to our nutrition we are all going to be very, very sick. Gah!
