Like a beast? So I should eat the seeds then shit them out?
If you don't get what I'm saying then you will end up hungry like the sheep.
Noone living on a quarter acre (or less) lot inside a city is going to be able to grow enough food to feed a family after spending the rest of their life not gardening. That's like teaching someone chess then expecting them to compete with a grandmaster next weekend.
Still enough room to grow something, which is better than nothing. Find a community garden, or a friend with the yard and give that friend some produce too. Yes it could happen inside most cities. Either be creative or not. Even a spare room converted into a indoor garden can work. If you want to give up, fine. I prefer you don't.
I grew 3-4 lbs of produce a week 9 months a year on my postage stamp size lot in a city in 11 raised beds 4' x 6' each. Sure, I wasn't completely self sufficient, but I took a HUGE chunk out of our grocery bills
