Forgot to share this interview with co-owner of Rise & Root Farm, Karen Washington. She went from creating a garden in a vacant Bronx lot to opening a farm that just received its organic certification. She also coined the term #FoodApartheid. It's pouring rain here today, so its a great day to stay inside and have a listen.

Alexander Balmain Bruce, Free Church of Scotland minster, on the Kingdom of God. The unloving cannot be admitted (James 2:13). Then he says the ambitious cannot enter the kingdom. He says even if such persons were to do work in the church, it’s actually for their own popularity and power. Surprising, but right there in Galatians 5:19-21.

Do we say those who talk about unlovingness cannot be admitted?

How can you decrease?

I heard about Karen Washington https://www.riseandrootfarm.com/karen-washington calling an area with limited or no access to fresh food #FoodApartheid instead of #FoodDesert. And people picking up on this.

The reason being that "desert" implies a natural phenomenon that cannot be altered by humans.

When what we actually have is a scarcity created by greed and injustice.

Nutrition is a huge deal. The need to eat is one of the very few things all human beings have in common, and nations have risen and fallen based on this fact. Yet even in 2022, not everyone is getting enough of the right stuff to eat. In today's episode, Ben, Matt and Noel dive into the concept of food deserts -- including why some people hate the term, and why others think it's the result of a conspiracy.
