The more people that ask about, comment on and suggest real food growing in the city, the more change that will happen.

Verge gardens are great! Not knowing neighbours is a real issue and studies show that is actually increasing people's level of stress and anxiety – particularly single elderly people who don't know who to call on if they are in need. I think it would great for the courageous souls to start calling community meals/street parties in their streets and neighbourhoods. 🙂

been a single mum & struggled with finances on occasion but always had a way to keep food on the table for the kids; they don't eat half of it now though & neither do i.
growing vegies along the curbs too would be a great idea & i love the idea of the cook up gatherings; a lot of the time many don't know who their neighbours are.
a very eye opening post
thanx for sharing

I could not believe it when our local council planted the main street with ornamental pears….

I wish I could have come along to witness it all for myself, it would have been wonderful. I just couldn’t get the day off work and I am too honest to throw a “sickie”. I have been reading the blog “ Cooking on a Bootstrap” lately and it is so amazing what this young lady is able to cook on such a limited income, a real eye opener. Poverty and food poverty in a world of waste and “too much stuff”is a crying shame .

I know I would've learnt so much. Thank you for sharing the essence of it here. I think what Richard Denniss says is quite profound, why are we more comfortable spending gazillions on weaponry when we have children going hungry every day?? Why do calls to change that fall on very closed-off ears in our governments?? I also think the point about real, nourishing food is a really important one. People having to live in poverty have as much right as we do to have access to and to eat real and nourishing food.
Meg
