Interesting and sad that none of the six families mentioned a thing about growing or raising something to feed themselves. Lessen your consumption and look to the government for solutions ... not the way I want to live, nor shall I ever.

You are correct, most who rely on the gov for every need, would never think of growing their own food, it does not matter which country.
I have found it interesting, that some of the younger group are now making having a garden, into an important desire, as in the guerilla gardening that is now going on. post 1836.
Glad you came to the thread and I hope that you will join in posting too.
