Yes, I love your cooking class idea! In addition to helping people out, it''d remind them that $4.00 worth of apples fills one up longer and is healthier than a bag of $3.50 doritos! Seems like our culture (aside from my apple addicted 7 year old) have forgotten all about this. I''ve read complaints in the newspaper (from low-income individuals) about how produce is too expensive and that is why they buy junk food, but teaching about shopping inseason (say when corn is $5 for a $1.00) can easily make eating fruits/veggies cheaper than a box of Kraft Mac and Cheese.Date: 1/7/2010 3:37:53 PM

After reading the newest link, I have another off-topic question:
Should Public Aid recipients (or anyone else for that matter) be better off taking cooking, canning, preserving classes?
You can definitely have a smaller food budget if you don''t buy prepared and processed foods. You can take advantage of fresh fruits and veggies and keep them for a long time.
