I don't want to go vegetarian, but I won't die. Plus, I am sure I would lose the weight I need to lose. Thanks for that thought. Living off my fat for awhile would not hurt me. Yes, most of the world does not have the emergency layer of reserves.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-13515550085835545072011-02-01T06:37:35.103-06:002011-02-01T06:37:35.103-06:00In some ways, for me personally, this would be a g...In some ways, for me personally, this would be a good thing. I eat too much and am often irresponsible with food choices. When I was in college I made due with a food budget of $70 a month and I was thin and healthy. Now that I have money, I pick up a lot of junk like tiramisu and these delicious creme brulees that Target has! A vegetarian, less varied diet would probably be a good thing for me since I can cook.<br /><br />But, I recognize that for most of the world, this is indeed a very BAD thing.Jennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-89987108459221042302011-01-31T20:50:26.431-06:002011-01-31T20:50:26.431-06:00I raise chickens in the city, two blocks from city...I raise chickens in the city, two blocks from city hall. No one bothers me because I only have 3 and did have 4 hens and no roosters. The guy behind me had roosters crowing. I must find someone to trade my eggs for whatever. The people who have produce I want also have hens or sources of eggs.These eggs come from petted hens. My 10'x10'x6' dog pen keeps them safe during the day when I am not home. Maybe you could raise them in your city?Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-45365283551173384092011-01-31T20:31:24.970-06:002011-01-31T20:31:24.970-06:00hope the food crisis never becomes that severe, bu...hope the food crisis never becomes that severe, but the prices are definitely rising, rising, RISING. ugh! envy you your chickens.
