I love quotes that add meaning to my life. Here are a few to live by:

Avoid food products containing ingredients that a third-grader cannot pronounce.
—Michael Pollan

Feeding nine billion people in a truly sustainable way will be one of the greatest challenges our civilization has had to confront. It will require the imagination, determination and hard work of countless people from all over the world. There is no time to lose.
—Jonathan A. Foley, director of the Institute on the Environment, U of MN

The surest way to capture the flavors, colors, and textures of a culture is by using authentic products.
—Lidia Bastianich, from Lidia’s Italian-American Kitchen

The most important habit you can develop is to taste as you are preparing something. Take a sample and taste it critically at different stages of the cooking, then correct the seasonings…
—Marion Cunningham, from Learning to Cook

Plant a vegetable garden if you have the space, a window box if you don’t.
—Michael Pollan

John Sayles, CEO of the Vermont Foodbank, says it best on their website: “With 1 in 4 Vermonters turning to the Vermont Foodbank network each year, it is critical that we all take action to end hunger…Our children cannot learn, grow, and succeed on an empty stomach. Together we must create a world where we all have the healthy food we need to thrive.”

153,000 people in Vermont struggle with hunger and access to healthy food. We can be the change and make the difference to our neighbors. Candace is one of the many Vermonters who has benefited from the support of the foodbank and local food pantries. She was kind enough to share her story with the Vermont Foodbank. Watch her full story here.

She is a mother, a daughter, and a wife in Rutland County, Vermont, and she is caring for her aging parents every day while trying to provide her children with the food they need to grow. Her husband works full-time, and they still can’t make ends meet. She said, “I have gone without meals. My husband’s gone without meals to make sure that our kids or my parents ate. I was relieved when I found out that there was a food pantry in my own hometown. […] It means a lot. I’m able to feed my children, my mom and my dad. I love my parents. I love them with all my heart. They took care of me when I was little, and now they need my help. It’s my turn.”
