Teach Our Children to Garden
In the United States the population trends towards obesity and a more sedentry life style. The foods we eat have become more and more "fast foods", low fiber, less nutritious and less green or produce oriented. Healthy Eating Research funded an analysis, which was conducted by California Food Policy Advocates and Samuels and Associates.

Chickens in the Yard
Why chickens? Well you need to have met my garden buddy Fuego! You might ask who is Fuego? Let me explain. I am an Electrical Engineer and I have what for me at times can be a stressfull job. During a typical lunch period I go for a walk to eliminate stress and relax in prepartion for after lunch work. I work in a building that is on Port of Seattle property known as Fishermans Terminal. Many of the fishing boats that catch the fish and crab that residents of the Seattle area eat, are moored there at the numerous fixed piers. If you have ever been to Chinooks you know the piers and boats I am talking about. We lease an office in a building adjacent to the pier area. So when I go for my walks, I can head in numerous directions.
