Well, how it fits in my hillbilly mind is that at least one partner needs to be at home doing family related things. Such as children, growing your own veggies and all that rot. It does'nt have to be the female, but someone needs to take responsiblity for it. If not? Some thing or some one gets left out. And I believe that's where our children and home life has gone, left the hell out. It takes effort every day to make it work. While you may not be the one doing the farming, you can be the one supporting them. Synergism baby.

well, biggles, i am not so far from agreeing with you -- i always like to say that everyone needs a wife, especially wives -- but what about single people? Once you meet someone and set up house, you can divide the labor and conquer (assuming you can afford to, which if you can't you probably ought to move somewhere cheaper). But if you're 25 or 30, single, working and trying to make your way, and aren't food-obsessed, who will take care of that for you? I kind of want to set up some kind of CSA for cooked food, or something -- so them that cooks can feed them that don't, but with good locally sourced food, cooked locally.

Yes, singles and aren't food obsessed. Known many such peoples and the lack of interest in food in general kinda scared me. They just don't care and surely won't pay a premium for such a service. They're quite happy doing what they do and food or food related politics just don't enter in to their daily routine. I say, let them be, they don't see anything wrong with how they're living life. A change isn't in their future.

Unless we started the Church of Food. Then we could preach the good stuff, the good way. We'd have to buy some acreage in Texas with some kind of compound. OoOoO, what fun !! The Cult of Food will rise !!!
