Growing your own food is the ONLY way forward, and one of the reasons we came out here in the first place.
On an economic level, it is cheaper than buying store-bought veg and may well be vital for survival should the crisis ever really hit.
You also need to earn less money if you are growing your own food. On a national scale, countries should become far more independent for their own food. The recent pack of chickpeas I bought comes from Argentina - how does that make economic sense? Forget about increasing exports, put your own house in order and reduce food imports.
You also get to appreciate seasons - cardboard tomatoes in December - no thank you. The first broad beans in the spring - superb, and better than any frozen product.
From a health point of view, there is no crap sprayed on our veg. Have you ever looked at the ramifications of GMO’s - there is some pretty deadly sh!t in there.
Have you ever looked at what goes into the food you buy in the supermarket?
Go and get a packet of salt and read the ingredients. Here in Spain it will say Salt & an anti-caking product E-536 or similar. This anti-caking agent is Potassium Ferrocyanide - sounds healthy, doncha think!
We give away and bottle our surplus. We receive more back than we could grow (can never get an orange tree to bear fruit), and it not much more work to plant 30 courgettes rather than 10.
Get organised guys ‘n gals - dig for victory and stop serving yourselves crap. You might regain your tastebuds.
