The corporate take over of our food supply has handed processors the incentive and means to cut their costs, and the taste and nutrition of their products.<br /><br />Anything we can do to reduce our dependence on this stuff will yield benefits, and some whole foods are almost as quick and easy to prepare as processed stuff. Oatmeal comes to mind. Bulgar is another yummy nutritious base for a number of dishes. I love soybeans, sometimes with bulgar. <br /><br />But it all takes a certain amount of mobility and energy. I am slowly ramping my cooking up now that we have the facilities and I am getting some stamina back. The whole experience has made me think quite differently about things like aging… and death by corporate food.<br /><br />It sounds to me like you've got plenty of chutzpah - you just aren't as insane as we are.

At times I have to give in to convenience over scratch i.e. buying tortillas instead of making them. If I make an effort to do as much as possible, it has to be enough.<br /><br />Eating beans from the can should be a must when one is on the road! Just seems fitting.<br /><br />I still marvel what the pair of you accomplished on this trip. I just don't think I have the chutzpah.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
