  yes, if people had gardens they could cut food expenses
but then they'd actually have to do something to grow and
harvest it (and learn about nature and stuff...).

Yup.  I'm still working on it but only trees really work for me,
though I get other things in smaller amounts.  Lettuce and green
onions equal to our needs.  Most years lots of bell peppers.
 
Current project, source some plant warmers and better seedling
pots yhat I can use year after year.

The United States imports about 15% of its food supply or
$204 billion worth.  People fucking around in their backyards
are never going to make up for that.

We've become spoiled too.  I made blueberry pancakes yesterday with
fresh blueberries.  They are from Peru.  If I grew my own, I'd have
them maybe a week or two a year.
 
We've had gardens in the past and sure, the quality was great.  Fair
amount of work to finally pick, even more to freeze or can.     I
don't see a mas exodus to the backyard to grow a lot when people can
get tomatoes from Mexico in January and pay a bit more for them.

Sure Ed but we aren't more than hobby growers, doing it for fun.  We
export far more food than we import.  Fresh fruits out of season
probably tops the list of them.

Oh of course, the dense ditz also has Janet UK killfiled.
