Build Your Diet On Simple Foods To Lower Costs
A Northwestern Life Insurance study from Chicago argues that a thrifty family can nourish a four-member household on about 25 cents per person per day by basing meals on whole wheat and milk. It highlights cheap staples like soy flour, potatoes, carrots, and occasional meat, plus oats, barley, corn bread, corn meal mush, potato soup, and navy beans as economical substitutes and says mass promotion of whole wheat could help reduce wheat surpluses while boosting national health.

The
Longevity of a Minneapolis Inventor Spans 35 Years of Innovation
George H. Ellis, a 76 year old Minneapolis scientist, has spent 35 years developing insulation materials and related products to help farmers and households. From binding twine made of straw to flax fiber boards, he helped spark a global insulation industry now valued at roughly 150 million dollars with hundreds of millions of square feet deployed. He later introduced asphalt dipped insulite boards with moisture resisting qualities after studying ancient Egyptian mummies at the Smithsonian.
