Well, Pego, that puts the issue in a new light, doesn't it. I'd call overhead
"groundedness" for lack of a better term. A saner or safer natural lifestyle
as a poor grower could be the tipping point to induce many to turn to food
production. It's honest work in a good cause, and in worsening conditions no
one will question the need for local food security.
Is "groundedness" ok to describe it?
