Chapter One: "Here's what happens when a community adopts [our] model: 1. People in need get nourishing food. 2. Perfectly good food is kept out of landfills. 3. Local stores save on dumpster fees and earn goodwill.
We've seen that when food rescue programs take root, crime rates can dip, street solicitation often declines, and community spirit rises."

The week after Valentine's Day featured local artisanal chocolates, & a ton of cut flowers especially red rose bouquets. Since then, lots of artichokes ('tis their season) and avocados. One time, caviar (different brand than before). The usual fresh fruits & veg, often organic (apples, oranges, bananas, romaine lettuces, various greens). There's zero reason for anybody in this society to go hungry and malnourished.

Marin County has posted no minutes for the Board of Supervisors meetings for this whole year.

Extremely weird.

TBT This was 14 years ago on the back side of Mt. Tamalpais in Marin County, California. March is usually when the rains started and I would stay sane from my intense job by wandering up in the mountain.

From Chapter 1: "Although Respecting Our Elders does wind up feeding very low-income folks, including some homeless, the main segment of our recipient base are . . . seniors who are seriously challenged to make their money stretch to just cover housing and medications . . . People are living in your area who for various reasons (out of work, outrageous medical expenses, or on disability), if they had access to this food for as long as they needed it, could make ends meet [&] start moving out of just surviving to being less stressed."

Food last week: organic & conventional: the avocado surfeit continued (bags of 'em), Romaine lettuces, Urban Remedy salads (maybe because of the cold weather?), the usual apples oranges bananas etc. & California caviar (white sturgeon) -- best before date had passed a couple days previously, but best before dates are conservative -- they were delicious!

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Running Fence, an art installation facilitated by Christo & Jeanne-Claude back in 1976. (I posted a map of the fence on my previous post).
