Instead of admitting that if someone were to not have to spend money on those 3 heads of cabbage (you don't have to use cabbage but any type of vegetable), that they would be able to spend that money on something else (thus lowering their cost of living), he decides to go overboard with an extremely exaggerated comparison.
I guess he has me defeated.
Inability to understand a point.... SN's biggets weakness.
It just is not possible for everyone to grow enough food to equal the increase in income needed to make sure people earn a living wage.
Three heads of cabbage cost about $2.50. It takes 5-6 weeks to grow those cabbages. that amounts to a couple of pennies a day.
Every little bit helps and I tghink anyone who can grow a garden should. But suggetsing that everyone can significantly lower their cost of living through gardening just is not realistic.
