So...........basically you have to live completely away from everything & everyone, grow your own food, make your own soap, have a fresh water supply, never get sick. :-)
Well that should take care of 99.9% of the liberals right there. (yeah!) Would be hard on the old folks tho.
It’s not impossible to eliminate a lot of things from your everyday life but people being people are so used to instant everything. Processed food is probably the worst but it’s easy so people will keep consuming it.
We started gardening in earnest in 2009. Every year since then we have planted berry bushes, fruit trees, nut trees etc. as well as regular garden. It really helped to keep our budget in line.
I have learned to can and I buy meats on sale and can them - saves money, and makes them tender for old people to eat. We avoid almost all Rx. Hubby takes a tum now and then. I have a couple of blood pressure meds. and Calcium/Vit D & K2. That’s it.
We declined statins and changed our diet and now labs are all good. Still eat too much processed stuff, but not as much as we used to.
We have a well, and are on septic. Have a generator, and store extra water in a swimming pool for the garden (rain from the roof). It can be filtered and sterilized if needed. That’s the way my grandparents and parents always did, so we did too, just more so after the economic hit in 2008.
