1) Tell the Fundies to back birth control. They're against it, and their bought-and-paid-for leader Bush has cut sensible family-planning aid both in the US and elsewhere. Result: Spiraling and unsustainable birth rates.
2) If you live in a rural or even exurban part of the US, take up deer hunting.

3) Grow at least some of your own herbs and veggies. Even a condo balcony can support a cold frame. If you've got more space, or even some dirt by a sunny wall of your house, try tomatoes or peppers. (If nothing else, you can grow chiles; they don't take much space to grow and are packed with vitamins and other good things.) Every little bit helps.
