Living off the land city style....

The San Francisco Chronicle/SFGate.com has a semi-appetizing story about a single mother downsizing to eat well while eating on the cheap. The story really captures how much waste there is and how much more efficient we can be if we try. It also captures that the one commodity that restricts people is not so much money but time.

In some ways it also captures that the bay area can is not in alignment elsewhere. The protagonist of the story lives a charmed life while minimalist is one of choice. Not everyone everywhere is offered that choice.
