Packing Healthy Food for Air Travel

'Trying to pack up and get out the door on time to catch an airplane can be difficult as it is, but add in packing all of your own food for the day, and you have what sounds like a bit of work. 


I've been packing my own food for airplane trips since I was twenty years old and I can tell you, that with a little planning, it can be very simple. There are some restrictions of what is allowed through security and what is not. I hope this post will inspire you to ditch the airplane/airport food in favor of healthier options brought from home.'

Food Security Threat: Goverment Set to Ban Public Fishing,Individual Food Production

"Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people."

-- Henry Kissinger

'Banning “recreational” fishing isn’t just an issue of economics, but is a threat to the personal liberty of each individual’s right to produce their own food. And banning fishing is just one of several policy changes the government is looking at.

Slow Money gains momentum

'First there was slow food, then slow cities and slow design. Now there is Woody Tasch, the catalyst behind a new movement touting “slow money” — the name the former venture capitalist-turned-revolutionary gives to his philosophy that combines a passion for social enterprise with the benefits of locally grown food.

'Tasch is spearheading a national campaign to persuade at least 1 million Americans to donate between $25 and $1,000 each to help create a grassroots, nonprofit seed fund to support and grow local food businesses and family farms.

'But it’s much more than healthier food that Tasch is after. He is traveling the country this fall, warning that money moves way too quickly. Billions and trillions of dollars zip around the globe, he says, as if disembodied from the people who invest it. “Investors don’t know anymore where their money goes and more and more, they want to see an impact for what they give in their own lives and own communities,” Tasch recently told a capacity crowd at New York University.'
