the real hunger games

I posted this on my face book page and I had to post it here too.
I remember once hearing a mother of 4 who was a friend of mine say, one day she was realizing she was responsible to feed her 4 small children 3 meals a day for many years to come and that realization had her so depressed and overwhelmed. She had a law degree and taught at a law school and was a very intelligent, capable, steady, woman.  I remember being a little confused at why this realization that she was responsible to feed her kids seemed so overwhelming to her. At the time I had one sweet baby who was still nursing. Nursing for me was the easiest most pleasant way to feed a baby. (Watch Oprah and snuggle up with the baby)  I had no idea what was coming for me! 5 constantly hungry kids, huge Grocery stores, heavy carts,  picky eaters, food budgets to stay with in or not stay with in and feel guilty. Organic or normal, how bad are pesticides really?.... Processed foods so convenient yet so bad.....Oh somebody save me!!!

This video nailed it.

Enjoy
