I don’t know why I clicked the link to John Cheese’s The 5 Stupidest Habits You Develop Growing Up Poor, since it was posted by someone with sanctimonious tendencies, but click on it I did. And I liked it. He brings up some great points, highlighting some recognizable behaviors of the 99 percent and busting at least one stereotype about those at or below the poverty line.
Just recognizing and considering most of these habits can help change them, but the first habit on the list isn’t as easy. How is someone with a low income supposed to eat in a healthy way when the healthiest foods are the most expensive, the most perishable or both?
Is this where community (or personal, if possible) gardens can help?
Am I becoming a hippie?
Answers: I don’t know; Perhaps; Not as long as I love designer shoes I’m not.
