Paul, as you know, not everyone can grow all their own food.
Some people live in cities; others aren't physically able to
grow all their own food. We can't, for instance.
We grow lots of veggies and a little fruit; but we certainly
cannot grow our wheat and other grains, or our dried beans,
or our milk or eggs or meat. We haven't the physical
capability or the land to do so.
Efforts like the Oklahoma Food Cooperative are to be
commended.
