Or grow it at home!

Enjoy your heat wave and drought, Europe!

Also food like meat and seafood is really expensive here in the UK compared to the U.S. and Oz. It's cheaper for me to go and have a nice steak in the Casino than it would be to buy all the ingredients and cook it at home.

that is unacceptable and a real shame

i can go buy a monster ribeye steak on sale for $14

It's unrealistic to grow all food yourself, but everyone should have at least a few plants. I have a few fruit trees and every year they grow so much i need to give most of it away. There are lots of pest resistant vegetables you can grow even if youre lazy. Im more of a set and forget gardener.

For sure to grow all your food is an immense commitment.
It is actually surprising how little time a garden requires, and so much fun.  And hour per day or per week, accordingly with one's passion or garden size.

Fruit trees and nut trees are a must in a backyard,  I agree.  Will try peach and nectarines soon.  Hardiness is key, tough to find a suitable sort for Canada.

Seedless grapes are just amazing, too, and easy to grow!

Apricots are great, very productive. But the birds will destroy them very quickly. Just net properly before they ripen.

Geez they have to be americans. Supersize me.

Americans live on fast food

We cook so we aren’t obese lol

[Bigbroben]

Americans for sure.  There are lots of them but they're not edible...

I prefer plums to abricots.  Garden side: ground cherries and watermelon, that's my stuff.

Ever tried cutting grass or hay with a scythe?  This is a great tool and a  very " zen" hobby.

Most Americans I know are slim !
But most Americans I see on tv are fat, how it comes  ?

[Bigbroben]

Cuz fat guys stay home, travelling people are in average thinner.

I used to drink a lot of aspartame but have changed largely to sucralose.   Aspartame doesn't make you fat, it just makes you pee a lot.  I devour sugar free Monsters and Mio Drops, but  I'm USDA certified lean.  I avoid corn syrup, sugar and hormone fed meat.

aspartame is a terrible chemical

found in most diet products
