I don’t plow, till or weed much. No tiller. Just hand tools - round point shovel, hoe and five tine fork. Clay soil. Brought sand in and use old hay bales for mulch. Soil is fantastic. Very little cost. Very little work. Huge harvest. No harmful pesticides. Those who want to garden should read Ruth Stout and Masanobu Fukuoka

Growing your own food is like printing money but you need to know a little bit about gardening. It’s a journey, adventure and philosophy. If you are working hard at it you are doing it wrong. Read Ruth Stout’s and Masanobu Fukuoka’s books. They make it a lot easier.
I wouldn’t hardly eat vegetables or fruit if I had to eat store produce. Tomatoes and peaches from the store are atrocious.
I don’t plow, till or weed much. My garden produces way more than we can use so I try to give friends, family and needy people the excess - don’t get me started on the excess cucumbers and zucchinis.

Democrats respond to political money but they feel an obligation to support the workers who allowed them to be in their positions, whereas Republicans feel absolutely no obligation to their none rich constituents, instead they feed the their minions BS. Both parties are basically on the same page otherwise.
That is why the Democratic party would like to get rid of AOC, Bernie Sanders and Mamdani. The solution is to replace enough Democrats until the party actually represents the people. There is no hope tor the GOP.

Our government should come from well informed people, not a few oligarchs who tell people how to vote via a controlled media.

The shock from these gloves can kill you. Consider it deadly force. Proceed accordingly.

Low quality, high carb food is profitable. Our western diet is built around a carb diet. While approximately half the population does fairly well, weight wise, the other half does not because their bodies preferentially store carb calories as fat. That said I struggled with my weight although I was very active. Due to health issues I switched to a low carb diet more like the one I grew up with - mostly protein, high fat ( good fats like fatty fish, nuts, butter, olive oil and coconut oil), and reasonable amounts of complex carbohydrates. Weigh came off without exercise or any other effort. BTW, the calories in, the calories out approach is just plain wrong. Carbs MAKE you hungry.
You only have one shot at this life so why would you burden yourself lugging around 50 pounds, 100 pounds or more everywhere you go.
SO?? He supposedly couldn’t shoot protesting US citizens. He supposedly couldn’t destroy the East Wing. He couldn’t order people in boats killed. Yet, here we are.
