One Hundred Dollars a Month

I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.

Tonight the Girl and I will be watching Food Matters.  It’s a documentary on the relationship between food and health.  I think we all know that food effects our health, but after watching this preview, I wonder, do we all know what bad food actually does to our health?  I’m interested to see how much I really know about nutrition {or scared to see how little I know!}.

I’m not sure if it’s on Netflix, but Amazon has Food Matters on  Instant Video.

Let me know what you think if you decide to watch it–or if you have already seen it.  Did you love it? Hate it? Can’t wait to watch it over and over?

This week, the Girl and I will be taking the suggestion of one of my readers and watching Ingredients. {Thanks Kate!}  Ingredients is a documentary that exposes the shortcomings of our industrialized food system and follows the growing movement toward the grow-local ideal.  The film is supposed to highlight the ever-changing demands on farmers {I always love getting the farmer’s perspective} and highlight cities that have learned to integrate locally grown cuisine into their businesses and restaurants.

Ingredients is available for free for Amazon Prime members.

Should be an interesting watch.

Tonight The Girl and I will be watching Dirt! The Movie.  While browsing movie titles, it was listed as a Top 5 Food Documentary.  It highlights the good, bad, and the ugly of our farming practices, and examines human beings relationship with dirt, and how our need to alter it may lead to our ruining our biggest resource.  Hmmm, I smell a plug for backyard gardening!

Since I plan on spending the better part of my year wrist-deep in dirt, I figured it might be worth my time to check it out.

Friday Night At The Movies – No Impact Man

Tonight the Girl and I will be watching No Impact Man.  A very environmentally conscious friend of mine  recommended that I watch it–and I have to admit, I’m intrigued.

The documentary chronicles one Manhattan man’s attempt at having zero net impact on the environment.  Colin Beaven, disillusioned with modern day consumption and overwhelmed by his concerns over the environment, decides to take an extreme step towards reducing his carbon footprint.  He recruits his reluctant wife, who has a penchant for fashion and city living, and his young daughter to live for one year with greener than green standards.  He aims to create zero trash and use zero motorized transportation or electricity–a goal that tests even the strongest environmentalist.
