Grow Food

It makes sense. It's how we Americans got our start - as farmers. We landed here with few provisions. Everything we needed we created or grew. It is easier today to do this than ever before because of information availability. Besides, if things are so rosy, why are the elites quietly preparing to survive in the near term?

Here is what I suggest. In our neighborhoods we form gardening coops. Why? Because whatever crops one grows the individual usually ends up with lots more than can be personally consumed. However, among the enormous number of various fruits, vegetables and herbs a gardener can grow - one can't grow them all. So for example, I have a number of fruit trees, lots of tomatoes and egg plants as well as plenty of basil. If there is a neighbor down the block with corn and potatoes we could easily swap these staples meal for meal thereby killing two birds with one stone. We solve the problem of our over production and increase the variety of food available to both families virtually for free.

Naturally, gardening takes hard labor which will not aid one's slide into physical decline. If you grow your own food you have to work at it - literally. But it's good for you. It burns calories, get's you outside and is very rewarding on a number of levels. Not the least of which is being able to eat delicious healthy fresh foods right off the vine or plucked off the tree and bush.

So we have to start over again to rebuild America. Boo hoo... Now that we've got the crying part out of the way lets all get busy. Sure, come November, run the scoundrels out of office. But if you wait that long to get around to gardening that vote will still leave you with an empty feeling in your stomach. So grow something - anything. I suggest tomatoes.
