    a level of scale is the difference, several magnitudes more damage, but whatever.

    Grow your own food and eat it, get into canning. What's so hard about that?

    You'd eventually remove all the nutrients from the soil and turn it to dust, then there would be no veggies or lawns. We all know fertilizers are bad for the environment so if everyone was using them we'd all soon be dead or glowing in the dark.

    We could just start pooping on our gardens.

    Now sure how you grow a twix or a lb of cheese in your garden anyway.

    Use raised beds and put worm castings and organic nutes in the soil every year to keep it healthy.

    Doesn't work like that...that's why farmers rotate their crops. You can't continually reuse the same soil, you have to give it time to recover.

    Two years ago, this woman had her front lawn dug up by the City while they repaired a city water pipe. After they were done, they just left it covered with dirt. When the woman called the City to have her grass replaced, they refused. After calling several times over a period of weeks and after escalating the issue, they still refused, so she decided to install two neatly-made mini box gardens in the soil which now covered her entire lawn. After just a matter of days, the City showed up to order her to remove the box gardens. She refused, and so they ticketed her with bylaw offenses. After she still refused to remove the box gardens, the City took her to court and a judge ordered the gardens removed. She still refused and was found in contempt and ordered to remove the gardens or face jail time. The woman finally gave in and removed the gardens, left with a front lawn covered in dirt. The tyrants won.

    If you use raised beds you can just replace the soil.

    And where would all this unused soil come from if everyone was doing it...

    The garden store?

    Again if everyone was doing it...the garden store would be out of stock...soil would be highly prized and the cost would skyrocket. You'd end up putting more $$$ into your stupid potatoes than just buying the chemical ones you buy now.

    They would be out of stock for soil? That would never happen at a garden store.

    I have grown potatos in my backyard before and it barely cost me anything, I used organic tea made from this stuff and my soil was really shitty high in clay, I grew a backyard garden for years and I never had to replace the soil I would spend maybe $50 a year on fertilizer and worm castings and I pretty much lived off my gardens.

    You only paid $50 on fertilizer because not everyone is doing it...again if everyone was doing it the price of fertilizer would skyrocket and again it's not good for the environment.

    Growing a few taters isn't the same as growing enough food to sustain you/your family...which you'd need to grow a variety of veggies to do.

    Taters are $1 for 3 to 5lbs at the 99 cent store...Let the fucking Mexicans grow them/harvest them and let us white folk concentrate on the things that matter and pay peanuts for our peanuts.

    People were growing their own food for thousands of years before these profiteering tyrants arrived, and everything worked just fine.

    I eat like 1 bag of potatos a year. Like I said before I'm not saying supermarkets shouldn't exist but if everyone grew their own food it would take a lot of burden off the system to provide for you.

    Sounds like laziness to me.

    Adam lived to over 900 years old. Noah lived over 900 years. Methuselah lived almost a thousand years. The low life expectancy was only apparent within a relatively short span of human history.

    Back then they measured years differently. A year to them was only really 2 weeks as we measure it.
