I agree it’s a crime billionaires can have such control over so many people, especially the food supply. I think ripping up the yard and growing a garden is the way to go, and at this point I think people are going to realize soon it’s imperative. I would ask though, to reconsider keeping chicken or other animals for slaughter and find protein sources from plants. Certainly the birds raised at home can have better lives than the factory farmed ones, but how about when they’re sick? Isn’t important they get necessary medical treatment, even if the cost far exceeds the price of the animal? With an unprecedented wealth of knowledge worldwide available, we are more aware of the sentience of such creatures and I would ask that we be merciful and care for them as our children or favorites pets than as livestock. Your back to the land idea is an important one to share.
