considering 80% of Americans are overweight, Id say the solution is to eat 23% less food.  |

Its ironic that Italy is planning a no pasta day. Speaking to people that travel for a living, pasta is one of the ways that families in Europe make ends meet.

since food costs are so high we need to convince our families that we need to FISH this season as much as possible to put food on the table!!!

this stuff doesn't work, just like the "no gas fill-up" days won't work, because everybody will just buy a bunch of pasta the next day!! Now if we are talking one week of no pasta or one week of no gas, that would do something..maybe..as long as we don't overconsume the next week to make up for it. |

Food in the US has always been a bargain. Anything you want can be had at supermarkets.
Now with the increased cost of chemical fertilizers, fuel to produce and ship, prices have been rising rapidly over the last few years.
Taking acreage from food to grow corn for ethanol is also hurting as well as increasing phosphate run off, polluting the rivers all the way down to the Gulf.
A 20x20 garden can feed a family of five from May to October if you sucession crop one vegetable after another when mature. I used to get 3 different crops per row, but it takes alot of planning and work to get it to work. Worth it though.
