Thread Name: BS: The price of groceries!?
Subject: RE: BS: The price of groceries!?
Bad news for people who buy but good news for people who have something to sell, and we should all have something to sell if we can...plant nut trees, berry bushes, obvious vegetables and fruits..dwarf trees can be harvested very quickly. In Washington we spray and cut down what is said to be one of the healthiest fruits..blackberries..they grow like crazy and cost like $3.00 for a little basket in the supermarket and you can get them for free and get more and sell them for $2.00 a basket. They should be culling deer and domesticated geese and give them to needy people. There should be community small dairies in places like Detroit with lots of green space..eggs, milk, meat. I live in a place that I swear could support hundreds of goats and cows and you don't see them...something is wrong from stem to stern..food production needs to be way less centralized and more home grown. One thing really really needed is mobile butchers who will butcher at least smaller animals like goats, chickens, geese and give you wrapped meat...talk to your extension people. There are poor people, there are underfed people, there are abandoned farms, there is green space in many cities and no one can connect the dots..maybe except me. mg
