Regarding the rural food that metrosexuals plan to take: we’re ready for you. For the humble few who plan to grow it, you’ll need about 2,000 pounds of fertilizer, 10 gallons of diesel, 2-3000 seeds and about three months of canned food per acre to start or you’ll have to survive all year on summer’s weeds.

Subsistance farming is done all over the world without the commercial fertilizer and the diesel. Everyone, of course needs seeds.

All the fertilizer, diesel, and chemicals do is give you time for a life outside of tending your little plot of ground. ;)
