Are you worried about food?

These days people are not only worried about this house note, or their electric bill, they are also worried about something much more basic - food.

An economic report from last month said that between 700,000 - 800,000 people lost their jobs in one month. Less people have jobs, so less bills get paid. But the one thing that must be bought is food. But what if someone told you that you do not have to buy food? That you can grow your own.

Its true. Regardless of what people have been told for the past 30, 40 or 50 years, food does not come from a grocery store - it comes from the ground. At first I did not believe it. I honestly thought that the grocery stores used some kind of magic to make the food appear out of thin air.

Could you imagine the money that a family could save if they planted some onions, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, bell peppers, or anything else. Instead of having to "buy" the food, people could just go into their back yards and pick what they wanted. Why didn't someone think of this before? Familes could have been saving untold amounts of money all this time.

People, its time to step up and take care of your family. If these economic times are hitting you hard, its time to plant a garden - just like what our grand parents used to do.
