“...move to where the food is.”
Shhh! The Midwest is already FULL of Yuppies, LOL!
Actually, I sell free-range eggs as an additional income stream, so I like Yuppies that will pay upwards of $2 for a 39-cent dozen eggs, or $3.00 a pint for Raspberries or $5 a jar for my homemade Pesto. ;)
As an aside, that new book by Kingsolver and her family is horrendous! Simply useless. Avoid it at all costs, unless you want a laugh or two.
I’ve read and enjoyed the “Simple Life” books by Scott & Helen Nearing. Granted, their politics were near Marxist, but they inspired me to live off the land more and eat much more simply.
Mainly, I just cook what my Grandmas cooked and “eat seasonally.” Few convenience foods, and cooking from scratch with basic ingredients saves a TON of money.
It’s amazing how much “free” food is all around us, too. You just need to know where to look.
