That’s OK, one more data center is sure to help.

Everyone. Everyone. Everyone. Needs to start learning to grow food. For a litany of reasons.

Turns out almost every non-native plant in North America was brought here as a staple food crop. Many “weeds” have higher nutritional content than heirloom produce, while being more hardy, drought resistant, and perennial or self seeding annual.

Modern Agriculture, mono crops, uniform produce, using toxic fertilizers and pesticides… Is all less than 200 year old. Capitalism is erasing millennia of thriving subsistence crops and farm techniques.

There will be a global food supply chain interruption in the next 10 years. If you live in a “food desert” you will have a real risk of malnutrition or starvation.

Most of produce we eat is genetically sterile and/or for other reasons cannot be propagated. Learning to collect seeds and propagate plants will become an invaluable skill.
Many “weeds” have higher nutritional content than heirloom produce
Very few weeds are more nutritional.
If weeds were more nutritious, native Americans wouldn’t have bothered with maize. Irish wouldn’t have starved because they could have eaten the more nutritious weeds that grow uncontrollably unless you work very hard.
But it was on the internet.
Yup. Looks like the vote score spoke before I could reply. Have fun eating strawmen for dinner folks.
That’s such a strawman. I’m talking about specific plants that have been cultivated for centuries in Europe as perennial food crops and reclassified as weeds, with higher vitamin and omega content… than you pull out corn which is an empty calorie food. They also cultivated native plants that we now categorize as weeds.
Not all of them were edible, some of them were vital cover crops that we’ve since replaced with fertilizers.
You even added uncontrollably. Where did I say that? You’re being so dishonest.
Than there’s the part where the irish potato famine was because the british took their crops. They were already tapped out agriculture wise. They couldn’t have just “planted more”.
higher vitamin and omega content… than you pull out corn which is an empty calorie food
The fact that you bring up vitamins as more important than calories means you don’t understand food supply problem/starvation. If there is a food supply problem, you need calories to survive. You can survive on corn. https://scienceinsights.org/what-vitamins-are-in-corn-from-b-vitamins-to-e/
It doesn’t matter if a weed has more omega 3 per gram if you can’t get enough calories to live off of it.
You even added uncontrollably.
I was emphasizing that weeds grow easily without cultivation and are therefore an available substitute. But they don’t have the calories and are therefore not a substitute.
because the british took their crops.
Yes. But according to you, they could have gotten more nutrition from weeds. The Irish weren’t stupid. They didn’t die with perfectly nutritious weeds right in front of them. They ate everything possible and starved to death because weeds don’t have enough calories.
god damn what a disingenuous person you are.
People starve to death eating rabbit meat. Survival is not just about calories.
I’m not gonna waste my time on you
I didn’t say rabbit, I said corn.
You are so butthurt about being called out for spreading dangerously wrong information that you are going into my history and down voting posts in other completely unrelated threads in other communities.
What a clown.
You are wrong about surviving on weeds. The rest of your post was good. Get over yourself.

Make America Great Again! Raise the price of food?
The shock is yet to come. This is just the hysteria.
