We are well below poverty line, and can't afford organic anything. We just do the best we can. Yes it sure seems that health care is for the wealthy no matter what kinda health care ya look at. I'd be interested in what you get for responses to this question too. Thanks for askin it! I can't even figure out how to get a diagnosis for anything. Waaay too expensive for our budget!

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Hope, We are a family of 7 and sit squarely on the poverty line. My best two bits of advice for produce are: 1. Garden!!! -- even if you only have a small yard or have to grow in containers on an apartment balcony. You can grow just about whatever you like and know its not been sprayed, irradiated etc... 2. Save money by not buying processed foods. What you save can be used to buy better produce. 3. Ooops, I know I only said two but I just though of another - Try to find a " co-op " or start one. We can get organic produce we can't grow for much cheaper this way. And believe me, 5 kids can go through a **lot** of produce - they're worse than rabbits or deer! We did raise rabbits for awhile for organic meat but the kids would get too attached to the little critters and my hubby is too much of a city boy to eat anything he saw alive so I gave up. Rabbits are cheap and make *wonderful* fertilizer for your garden. They're tasty critters too.<g> JC =c) > > Also-- i know about some of the things we should do, yet we are not > > wealthy people.
