It turns out that the farm bill encourages folks to buy food full of fats and sugars more likely to make them fat, while not encouraging people to buy (or farmers to grow) fresh produce. This is fascinating stuff, and, as someone who tries to eat healty on a budget, I think totally true.

Nutrition is super-important, and I don’t think we Catholics talk about it enough as Catholics. Our body is a temple of the Holy Ghost, etc, etc, is almost always in reference to sex, but it really sould be in reference to the way we keep our bodies in general, as per nutrition, exercise, and a sound physical life (rest, leisure, sleep, skin care, dental care, etc…)
