Chapter 1 - Introduction
In the years since writing Eating Off the Grid - storing and cooking foods without electricity, I have realized that, for many people, there was a big gap between where they were and where Eating Off the Grid began. It was difficult for them to make the great leap it would take to actually eat off the grid.
Our world has also changed drastically since then, and there are new reasons to look at changing the way we eat. Food safety, from both chemicals and pathogens, has become more of a concern. The economic downturn has decreased our incomes, while the price of food continues to increase dramatically. People are more environmentally aware of where their food comes from, how it is packaged, and the amount of fossil fuel it takes to grow it and get it here. Perhaps the most important change of all has been the increasing isolation of family members from each other, as electronics of all types connect us to people or fantasy in far away places.
What You Can Expect
Feeding Your Family in a Fried Economy addresses those issues and bridges the gap, to bring more families closer to the place where they can really eat off the grid - the food supply grid, in this case. In this work, I am not addressing whether you use electricity to store and cook your food. Rather, I am trying to gradually release you from the chains of the supermarket in order to obtain your food more locally. Your final goal is to eat basic foods, grown as locally as possible and processed as little as possible. In doing so, you will save money, improve the safety of your food, save the environment, save fuel, and, most important of all, save your family.
Perhaps another name for this book could be Nurturing Your Family in a Fried Society.
Taking the steps in this book will take time, effort, and teamwork. It cannot be accomplished by edict, but rather by family members discussing, compromising, sharing, and working together. The results will pay off in so many ways. Mentoring your children in adult living skills and working together as partners to accomplish real goals will forge relationships that will last a lifetime.
On the other hand, depending on your personal goals, you may use only certain parts of this book. If your main goal right now is only to lower your grocery bill, then the first few chapters will do the trick. If you have environmental concerns, you may continue a little farther. If, however, you want to improve the safety of your food supply and the strength of your family, you will eventually want to make it all the way through the final chapter. The choice is yours, and you can change your mind along the way.
This Book as a Springboard
This book includes many topics that, in themselves, could make an entire book. My intent is not to give you all the information you will need to accomplish all you plan, but to provide you with a framework, and to point you towards where you may go to find that information. Each family’s situation is unique, so it would be impossible for me to address everyone’s needs. My intent, instead, is to empower you to begin seeking for yourselves to find your own unique answers. In the end, you will be more successful and your solutions more personalized.
