umbertino Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Oklahoma is one of the most food insecure states in the US, where families struggle to buy enough healthy food.

RodandStaff Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 As my wife has been a certified "Master Gardener" in the past and we understand communitie gardens. This is probably the best quote from the article... "If you want something, if you want to eat better, you better feed yourself.” Bottom line...you can't trust that a bunch of bureaucrats will take care of you like you will take care of you. Yes gardening is hard sometimes back breaking work...but it's also very rewarding. You'll know the food you grow is healthy, fresh, and available for the picking. That's not "Slavery"...that's what I call being involved in the creative process and being self reliant for your own food source. Of course now a days some entities consider that dangerous...I consider it wise...like all the generations who have gone before us have done since the dawning of time. And that is not racist in any way IMO! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
