How is this related?

Well, See, it seems to be that food is political. And I am ill equipped to express myself as well or as concisely as I would like. But what could be more important?
I realize that most of the people coming to this site are looking for frugal or simple ways to better provide food for your families.
My dilemma is that food (What is fed upon; that which goes to support life by being received within, and assimilated by, the organism of an animal or a plant; nutriment; aliment; especially, what is eaten by animals for nourishment.) should be nourishing.
And currently not all "food" is... nourishing or even food!
In fact it is a convoluted assortment including all categories of deception
How do we fix that? It's simple. We only feed our families nourishing foods. If everyone does that then there wouldn't be a market for the other "food".
You know I believe in growing our own food. But I'm still figuring that out and unlikely will ever be able to "do it all". So I rely on a farmer, rancher, dairyman, orchardist, etc to grow or 'produce' my food. Sometimes, when I'm thinking clearly, I rely solely on God, since it is He that is in charge of the seasons and the harvest. It is up to me to be righteous and thankful for what I have; to do the best with what I've been given and to share what I have with others just as I would hope they would do for me after all I can do.
What I do not do, is rely on the government to decide what I should or should not eat. Their role is defense, (which they are not fulfilling but sometimes pretend they are trying, I'm just saying their direction of improvement is the wrong direction for me!) and allowing me to make my own choices and successes in life. But they are subsidizing, (oh, the subsidizing!), and, and
..... I could continue, but I'd like to introduce someone to you in this post, and just in case you didn't know.... The media is a little incomplete sometimes leaving the individual to find out for themselves what would they should know.

I don't know of any American or Freedom-loving person in the World that could not or would not resonate with this man's beliefs and his consistent actions based on them. I believe that we as a Nation and in consequence, the whole world would be benefited by these beliefs being acted on. I encourage you to go to ANY of his writings or record and see what kind of Leader he is. Here are some of his own words:

In Congress, I never vote for any piece of legislation that violates the Constitution’s strict limits on government power. I also do not participate in the congressional pension system.

As President, I give you my word that I will only exercise my authority within the confines of the Constitution, and I will work every day to rein in a runaway federal government by binding it with the chains of that document.

For my stands and beliefs, I am told that my efforts are “hopeless.” Like those who were proud to stand up for what they knew was right to create our nation, however, I firmly believe that now is a better time than ever before to reclaim our liberties. No situation is hopeless for those who receive their strength from their faith, family, and freedom.

And like those Patriots, I have no doubt that liberty will prevail. .......

Look into it, You may be surprised by just how much you agree on.


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

"If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as the souls who live under tyranny."
Thomas Jefferson

Is it your right to choose what you eat?

Yes, God gave it to you. It is involved in Live, Liberty, and Property. Any human who believes that they can take away those rights from anyone is fooling themselves to think that they have more power than their Creator (regardless as to what they believe since truth is still and always will be truth). I pray that all will find the freedom that they can in whatever their situation and feel the love of God always.

Where did you say I could find that?

Healthy food does not have to be expensive. Any food bought in a special little package marketed toward a spontaneous purchase or specialty shopper is bound to be expensive. Just as the mainstream foods bought in bulk are cheaper if planned for, then so are traditional foods.

I have been building a price sheet comparing my most common stores. It is not necessarily accurate or updated since my last need to compare an item.
If you know the responsible farmer of a product then likely that would be the top source.

But where did I find ____..... and at a price that was actually affordable?

Generally, Azure Standard is where I end up making my planned bulk purchases. Essentially they are an internet based grocery store with every department including fresh and frozen produce. They have a wide range of foods that satisfy nearly every category of food enthusiast: whole foodie, special diet needs or allergy free foods, organic, fad, and even just plain and simple traditional foods. The registration of a username to see prices/place an order has no lingering effects or even a single email with advertisement.

Azure Standard does not charge shipping and delivers to neighborhoods if you meet a minimum order amount. Contact them for up to date details. If you are local to me, in San Tan Ranch, then I have a drop site (unlisted) that you are welcome to use; just contact me via the email in the side bar and we can arrange an order/drop. - Be advised: They are still improving their logistical and inventory systems AND they work on a Geographically based delivery schedule that is on a one month cycle (they only deliver to you once a month)
