Food vs shelter
Written by Jennifer Cooper on August 7, 2009 – 3:09 pm
Day 35–August 7, 2009 The human body cannot live without food. Yet time and time again we give up food in favor of other things our body does not require. And certainly many people have gone hungry in favor of If this is the case, that so many people would rather go hungry than roofless, [...]

Day 30–August 2, 2009 For a month my backpack and I have been intimately acquainted.

So today, backpack free, I would [...]

Day 29–August 1, 2009 It is an unfortunate fact that healthy food often costs more than food that offers little or no nutritional value. The average price of a gallon of milk is estimated to be $3.50, while a two liter bottle of soda can be purchased for about $1.50 (approximately 3.79 liters per gallon.) [...]
