If we all began to grow our own, the seed companies would see a big increase in their sales, grocery stores would be nonexistent, food growers would be out of business and there would be a LOT of unemployed Mexicans.

We might be healthier as a population as we would be putting less chemicals into our body. Plus we would know where the food actually came from. Granted there would be less jobs if everyone was to produce those own food but also there would be a lot less pollution and a lot less socialising. That is what we go to the small little shops and supermarkets to do, we need to talk to people otherwise we would be isolated on a large scale

Good points, Anonymous. I've seen that isolation grow in my own lifetime. When I was a kid (back in the 1940s) few people in Oz owned cars and we all walked in and out when we were going anywhere. We all spoke to each other and we all knew each other. Then during the 50s and 60s as cars became more available we became less neighbours and more like ships passing in the night.

I'm lucky. We live in a relatively small town on the Blue Mountains and most people are still sociable, but the old intimacy no longer exists.
