>It’s pretty wholesome if you like the lifestyle consider moving to a small town of chill bros and you can kind of be the king of your castle that way
Way ahead of you. Food is definitely better here in the city. You could only get similar quality in the big city if you had the $$$$$$$$$

Flyovers are the best if you have the right land. And land can be pretty cheap if you know where to look. I didn't move here for the people (even though I think they are overall of a higher quality than city people, which is saying something because the stereotypes of flyover folk are mostly true). Its beautiful and serene here, and since its a flyover faggots from coastal cities wont migrate here and ruin it like they are ruining Arizona, Texas, Idaho, and whatever the fuck else they can get their filthy nature/society destroying mits on.

Sure, if you don't cook and only eat what strangers and cooperation's make, the food will be shittier here. But if you actually care about where your food comes from you can get better food here for cheaper.

I would rather be a wandering forest bum with no home and starve/die from the elements or get eaten by a fucking bear than ever go back to the metropolitan hell that is the urban biome.

Shhh, let him live in his dystopia and assume all the rural women are stupid, fat, ugly, and can't cook. Let him think that they don't use their land produce crops and livestock that he pays 10s of thousands of dollars for. Let him think the traffic and rampant crime is worth it.

>>16087988
Not much, I specifically moved to a place with a shitty food scene because it keeps out tourists.

Their ice cream is okay, its only open during the warmer months and I've only had it once.
I prefer cooking at home. What can I say? I'm a homebody.

Based and ruralpilled.
I bet you can grow some sick crops where you live. Idk what your winters are like but I looked up the area and it looks nice and fertile. Not Monsanto tainted like american rural, but it's pretty where I am too in its own special way.

>>15650638
Ngl its breddy nice. If this is what the afterlife is like then I'm just gonna keep slaughtering livestock in it.

I live in the countryside on 400 acres. The land used to pasture cattle before it was converted into a corn/soy farm, which I plan to slowly convert back to pasture as well as orchards, ponds, market gardens, managed timber. We currently rent out some of the land to grow alfalfa and other fodder to a neighbors beef operation. I will have absolutely no issue grass finishing a small herd of beef.

> How do you plan on feeding a billion of them

Name me one damn individual farm that has a beef herd that is a billion strong. Worldwide we don't even slaughter a billion bovines each year.

You also talk about population growth being a problem. Even if you somehow took away all animal products the human population will continue to grow.

A constant blind focus on using technology to try to solve problems created by technology is not going to fix things.
If you want my opinion our species is just as mortal as we are as individuals. I just do my best, which for me means having a direct connection with my food. In the last year I've gone from going to the supermarket twice a week to once a month. I hope in a years time to go even less often.

I will never support anything that uses fetal bovine serum outside of medical purposes. So lab grown meat gets a hard pass for me.

>no way that breed will catch on in the midwest
It doesn't have to. The midwestern great plains was once home to tens of millions of bison and fed and watered them all without any human intervention. Cows are almost exactly the same animal, shit, you can even hybridize them. Also the midwest, at least where I live (which is further east) is not water insecure.

As for avocados, when fat starved vegans buy them in bulk, there will always be a demand.

>>15607234
Honestly I'd love a wider diversity of meat.

>>15591099
Yeah its sad until I remember I own 400 acres of private land. Bill Gates can suck my cock. I wouldn't sell this beautiful property for any funny money.

>>15563801
Nah life is pretty nice here. I'm just trying to get the hang of cooking uncommon food after spending a long time living as a city cuck.

>>15315625
Yeah I haven't thought about what kind of fish. I hear tilapia are pretty hardy but trout might be pretty good too. I'll keep that in mind :)

>tfw you have your own drinkable spring running thru your property

>>15250248
Will do. I can also confirm the spring water is drinkable. It's beautiful. Pic semi related, it's a creek that runs off the spring (I wouldn't drink this though)

>>15221727
What truth? How is a vegan diet more evolved than someone breaking from this unsustainable industrial agricultural system and just learning to reconnect with their food?

Like its very rare that any of the vegans I talk to even know how their food is grown, or even how to grow their own food.

>>15169038
A smaller setup would mean less reliance on others for food scrap residuals.

I currently have ducks with a plan to get chickens and geese soon (with a plan to also get large livestock like cattle, hogs, and goats). I am a newbie homesteader so currently no I don't do this method (except to a small degree), but rome wasn't built in a day, and since my ducks are rotating pasture raised they don't actually eat much commercial feed, and many of the grains have been grown and supplied to me by people I actually know. The majority of their diet is bugs and greens. Pretty good for a very feed dependent animal!
The plan is to get geese (who eat 90% of their diet in grass) and then a handful of chickens to help spread manure.

I know muh perfectionist anon thinks I should either be gambling with my livestocks health or eating bugs but I find just working towards an end goal and finding joy in every step I take closer to it is more meaningful than submitting to our cooperate overlords who want me to live in a pod and inhale whatever swill they push at me.

>>15111624
No. I like where I live. And I like winter.
