Anonymous Coward User ID: 22951172 Singapore 09/04/2012 02:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | if we just planted more fruit bearing trees in streets/sidewalks/parks/etc ... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1516077 if there were strawberries, cherries, lettuce, in abundance everywhere ... we probably don't even have to work. You are 100% correct. Why does everyone plant grass, when they can have a harvest of food always growing there? Conditioning and ignorance is the answer. All national parks and public areas should be spread with the seeds of fruit bearing plants. Even George Washington said we should plant as much indian hemp as possible. People can eat that plant and receive many medicinal and nutritional benefits. But even just the fruit everywhere would end dependence on money and jobs and the daily rat race. We are in the garden of eden. It just has a thorn of misinformation in it. Remove that thorn from our minds and plant some trees. That is the answer. The dams prevent water freely flowing through the lands too. So that is also a thorn. Peace to all. The answer to abundance has been given to you. |

I planted 9 citrus and a loquat in the front yard for neighborhood children. The fruits come in at different times and two of them make fruit year round. I planted them four years ago, so they are well established. In fact they have survived a hurricane and 14 degree weather, so I think they will live for the future. 7 Billion people on the planet! That's a BIG number! And I am one. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1516077 does that answer your question? no it cant? lol more like half a football field worth of vegetation... you obviously have no clue. with half a football field, you can start your own local grocery store w/ that year round. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22343031 I live in New Zealand and everyone has fruit trees. I never buy fruit from the supermarket. America is so freakin backwards. I had 60 lbs of carrots I harvested all at once this summer. I offered my next door neighbor 10 lbs. for free, already washed, trimmed, bagged. He said "no thanks, if it don't come from a grocery store, I don't eat it." The man saw them grow all spring over the fence. Knows I don't use chemicals on my garden. Commented several times how nice it all looked. It boggles my mind. |
