There seems to be something immoral about taking food and using it to power our cars vs. feeding hungry people.

I agree Paul....especially since the use of Ethanol has not been much help in keeping the price of gas down!!! It has done nothing but deprive people of food and drive the cost of food through the roof!!! Idiots!!!  |

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.

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. |

Raven, the concept of asian cooking as "healthy" is a huge misconception. My wife is Chinese and when we first met we went to a lot of traiditonal Chinese restaurants in San Francisco. She ordered dishes called "fatty pork" and other things that were so bad for you. I think asian cooking got good press years ago for the vegatable/stir fry concept that is one part of the asian diet. Asian diets are high in carbs (rice) and fat/cholestorol - eggs, pork, oil etc. My mother in law eats a 100% asian diet and she is a diabetic, and gets kidney dialysis 3 times a week.

Coupons & sales.... I used to only buy what I needed when I needed it but now I am doing a lot more of buying 2-3 of something I know I use all the time when its on sale instead of just one when I need it.
Also you can bet more of the yard get tilled for a bigger garden this year! Not drastically larger but a little more. I have a rather small garden now but its amazing what you can reap from a small space with just a little planning and care. |
