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

How should I eat? (Not too much)
—Michael Pollan

If it is so difficult to learn to cook, how did all those early pioneer women manage to cross the country in rugged covered wagons and feed troops of people from one big pot hung over an open fire?
—Marion Cunningham, from Learning to Cook

Treat treats as treats.
—Michael Pollan

No matter how you slice it through, grain-fed meat production systems are a drain on the global food supply.
—Jonathan A. Foley, director of the Institute on the Environment, U of MN

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.”
