You sound like you're trying to convince yourself. I'm guessing you've never sold what you've grown. Or even eaten what you've grown? How do you think a small time farmer makes money off of the same amount of land that you claim grass would be the better option?
You're calling people tree hugging internet faggots because you couldn't do what people have done for thousands of years.
Seriously think about what you just wrote. You're seriously telling people that growing your own food isn't a sustainable option. GROWING YOUR OWN FOOD ISNT VIABLE.
"Just go buy it from Walmart, Goy. It's cheaper."
One summer, I built a vegetable stand and made a few hundred bucks. Invested at least $2k into the garden.
Maybe if I had a few serfs to share crop it would be feasible.
But its just myself and my wife and we both work.
A small time farmer? So everyone who owns a lawn is better served becoming a "small time farmer," quitting their jobs and tending their new fields where their lawn used to be?
It's so asinine and unrealistic it makes me want to fucking puke.
Growing your own food makes you want to puke?
Growing your own food is unrealistic??
Yes. It is expensive, time consuming and inconvenient.
Don't get me wrong, I have 10 half whiskey barrels filled with tomato, eggplant and herbs planted this year.
But tearing up your lawn to "save a ton of money" is misleading. If I want to tear up just my back lawn, I'd probably need $5,000 in soil amendments at least. I'd have to dedicate 20 hours a week to manual labor. I'd have to plan all sorts of things I don't have time to plan like cover crops in the winter to avoid erosion, crop rotation etc.
I am not and most are not farmers anymore. Our wives don't sit home canning and churning butter.
I have tons of prepper food for shtf. But until then, while I still have a great paying job, I will get my produce from the fucking grocery store.
And I certainly won't go on the internet trying to sell everyone on the idea of how cheap and easy it is to rip up their lawn and "plant things they can eat.," why? Because it's fucking hippy bullshit logic that usually streams from climate change faggot liberals.
