How much does it cost to feed you? Daily that is? You'd be surprised, can you do it for less? How much less?
These folks in the states just tried something fo themselves, and it grew (for them) into a full time exercise. 1 dollar a day, US, not Zim ....

You couldn't ... i'll bet you NOW that you could not eat for even a week on a dollar or less. In South african rands it's what, about 10 rand or thereabouts. A loaf of bread is about 8/9 rand, depending on where you buy it .... and man cannot live by bread alone ..... part of the challenge is sustainability .... do it, and be healthy at the same time.
Most people i know couldn't ... they couldn't see the reason, or even begin to understand the need, never mind actually DOING it. We got 5 in our family, plus the maid who we feed every day, so that works to about R60/pd allowance. I wonder how it compares (?) Obviously buying and cooking bulk is cheaper in the long run, but you have to be really careful how you spend the money.
Big respect to these 2 though, this hope they are able to share the message. I've added them to the blogroll on the right, and i know i'll be keeping an eye on them, as they put it "Around 700k people have visited our little blog, and if that isn’t evidence that this is a crucial conversation to have, just read some of the stories from people around the country (and the globe)."
