Food Post-Katrina--The Mind Boggles, The Stomach Turns

Source: Food Post-Katrina--The Mind Boggles, The Stomach Turns

HoustonLearning of bodies rotting in food lockers, and decaying chickens and soured milk products being bulldozed into giant waste heaps,  Foodie's thoughts about what had been New Orleans' vibrant regional food scene are like wispy, trivial dreams. Life is all about change and movement, yes, but a one week upheaval is simply way too speedy. Even our multi-tasking, hyper-electronically driven brains cannot process adequately what has occurred.
The  Houston Food Bank is already strained to the limit as it attempts to feed so many more people. 
Second Harvester's Food Bank of Greater New Orleans' website remains down but we expect when this group re-surfaces it will need all the help it can get.
