re: #329 Dark_Falcon

True, i’m just sort wishing we could just be honest about it. Just let the world know that when it comes to food, the ability to grow your own in your own country is more important than lower prices.

I always get a little freaked when people I know from Colorado tell me they have to buy dirt (topsoil) to plant a garden. Because they don’t have enough.

Why would anyone go thru the trouble of going out West in a covered wagon (which was treacherous) and settle somewhere they couldn’t grow their own food?

I know, gold and they could hunt.

It still seems a little strange to me, but I’ve always lived in the Midwest. Dirt is freakin’ everywhere.
