9YearLurker :" Only soybeans for the peasants! "

Right - soybeans, pinto beans, peas - as member of the Legume family are high in fiber and easy to grow.
Some of the varieties can be trained to grow on a trellis of string, wire, fencing and can be grown vertically to conserve space especially in a small garden area.
Since they are high in fiber, it satisfies an appetite and makes you feel full; many diets use beans, corn, and rice to nutritiously satiate an appetite.
Same with curcubits, can be trellis trained- squash, cucumber, pumpkins, zucchini, gourds, etc.,etc.
And we haven't even gotten into root crops, interplanting crops, or companion planting, etc. in relation to food security.

You’re talking about resourceful self-reliance and I’m talking about what will be allowed and issued to less than self-reliant peasants while they are still littering our country.

And when every comrade is given a small bag of beans and told to grow them “for food sovereignty” with a list of ecology-friendly high-tech directions (subject to re-education camp if compliance proves difficult), how many of those comrades will be alive the next year to share the redistributed harvest?

Deliberate or not, this is a means to solve the supply-and-demand problem by aggressively, yet indirectly, reducing demand by large percentages (seeing as supply falters when starved of profit).
