    Yes but im not a good person, and there is no way to feed myself without fucking people over unless i have an acre of land and a shit ton of soil additives, which I’ve so far failed to secure. Attempts were made.

      Whether or not if you can garden to survive and if makes you a good person or not (You literally can’t, and it no, doesn’t) is not on debate here, we’re talking about eating at restaurants or getting take-out.

      The best incentive here is that you can save a lot of money and force unethical businesses to change their models and pay-gaps by learning to cook at home. There are a million tools and resources for learning how. Once you break the habit it stops feeling like mental and physical effort to have your own meal plans.

        you literally can’t

        Seen it done over decades. Works, though there were tilapia and rabbits. This was not just ‘put stuff in ground and snack’. Dude had some org chem under his belt. Also it was a family of three.

        learn to basic skills

        I do in fact cook at home. The exploitation at the supermarket is gross; I’m not going out before noon for a farmers market. And every ingredient tastes a little like the suffering of which it is made. Especially the leafy greens.
