I do volunteer work with a teen mom shelter - trying to teach them how to grow their own and then how to cook and eat those vegetables. The shelter is located in Orange County, Ca and I am stunned (midwest girl that I am) at how ignorant these California girls are of even the most common sense things, i.e. asking what a tree with bring orange fruit is. (I'm not kidding) I tell them that those with money eat fresh food, and you can live like them, if you grow your own.
