If your local store only offers things like this frozen food and junk food you might be living in a food desert and suffer from food insufficiency. Not everyone has access to farmers markets or Trader Joes.

by Lori Alexander from The Transformed Wife – She Brings Her Food From Afar

Editor’s note: Lori goes on to say that everyone can do this so easily. She says that everyone is near a Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods type markets, not understanding that there are many in the world living in ‘Food Deserts’ even in the US. If you are living in a very rural poor area, or in the inner city and you’re not as financially blessed as Lori, you don’t have a car or there’s no mass transit there is literally no way to get these healthy foods. Lori acts like everyone is the same as her, instead of understanding that her situation is not a reality for anyone. If you have very limited resources you are always going to go for the low-cost and highly processed foods. Why is it that many of her posts involve food?

We spent several months in Wisconsin this summer in the cabin my dad bought 30 years ago. Since Ken works from the home, we had the opportunity to do this and we greatly enjoyed it. In order to find fresh food, once a week I would drive about 40 minutes to the nearest health food store and buy up things mostly on sale. They have great monthly sales with 50% off so it was worth it to me.

Then I would drive about fifteen minutes from there to a farm that sold grass-fed meats and pastured eggs. They also had some fresh picked produce. Later in the day, I would go to a local family-owned farm and pick up fresh cut lettuce, tomatoes, green peas and beans, cauliflower, broccoli, raspberries, corn, and other foods that were straight from their organic garden. Yes, it took a few hours to accomplish all of this but it’s worth it for me to buy the best food I can get for the best prices. It not only tastes a whole lot better, but it’s better for us!

“You might as well try to enjoy life in a run-down and ruined house that allows free admission to the freezing blast and pouring rain as to be happy in a body ruined by self-indulgence. If God has given you good health and a sound mind, it is your duty to do all you can to preserve it so that it will perform all the necessary functions in the great work of life” (The Golden Gems of Life).
