Anyone with a yard of 0.25 acre or more can grow survival food, if necessary, e.g., potatoes, beans and greens.

What happened? They are both important!

Climate change is destructive. Fighting it by any means, including diet change, is important.

@EdEarl Ed, I need a fair amount of food! Everyone will need a fair amount. Granted we need less than we think we want! If things continue in the same vain they appear to be heading at the moment, food may become scarce or at best limited! But it is the other manufactures pumping pollution into the atmosphere...we may need less things and cleaner air in the future?

@Freedompath True, I didn't intend my statement as reduce food intake, rather as eating things that are easier on the environment. For example, flying salmon from Alaska to NYNY so a person can eat salmon is very bad for the environment, compared to eating locally grown vegetables.

@EdEarl Oh! I don’t socialize with anyone who has the means to do that! Lol. That never entered my imagination! Within 10 miles from here there is a dairy, a winery and many 100 acre pecan farms (that is what they are called here), plus the 100 acre farms of peppers and onions! But, those people must export out of here or they want be able to keep farming for a living! So here is the delimma! There is limited amount of different vegetables grown here, they come over the border from Mexico or other parts of the country. The largest chili factory in the world is 8 miles from me. They ship all over... now how would you fix all this?

@Freedompath Each family could grow a garden, or at least a few edible plants. Keep chickens for eggs, and do whatever is possible. Avoid fast food drive thru places. Each of us can do more to help with climate change. I don't have a master plan.

@EdEarl This is not 1950, a small garden back then a pig was possible on an area of land! My parents worked at unskilled labor to provide the rest! I still remember not having a lot to eat and forget the frills of life. I may have been 12-13 before we had a tv...or inside plumbing! We did own the 4 room house and the acre of land. That would be impossible to replicate in today’s society!

@Freedompath I understand the limitations today make growing a big garden difficult to impossible. However, any amount of gardening, even one container is better than none. A small spirulina algae garden can supply a significant amount of nutrition, for the climate change emergency and perhaps others. Call it prepping.

@EdEarl I am growing a small patch myself, it would be good if people did that, but it will never feed the masses!

Climate change will definitely force a diet change.

Would help. I prefer olive oil to engine oil anyway!
