Eating when times are tough
Here’s a good article on poverty and feeding yourself. I especially liked the list of tips on how to eat when you’re suddenly down on your luck.
I know very well that when you’re being worried like a rat by economic problems (and the health and other problems coming out of that), it can be hard to see anywhere near a full range of options. I doubt that many people who are in serious poverty will be reading this and picking up ideas, unfortunately. It might give some ideas to someone who’s more temporarily down on their luck, the way economic conditions are right now.
Good advice. I’d also add that learning what plants on your lot and in your neighborhood are edible will save you a lot of money as well.
