You have to change the general public's mind set first.
I dont think the cost of healthy food is that expensive to begin with.
It is what people choose to buy that is outrageously expensive.
Two people go buy a hamburger, drink and fries= almost $20.
I am a a US citizen and I am ashamed of what we have became.
I see people get up and leave their trash on the table for someone else to pick up in the airport.
I see fathers and mothers trying to tell their kids something but the kid doesn't hear because he has ear buds in.
I see people complain about things they could easily do them selves.
They expect some organization to do it for them.
Like pick up trash along the front of their house.
There are HMO's that a few tell the many what they can do on property they own.
Things like an enterprising little girl that cant sell lemon aid in her front yard due to restrictions.
We have became a society of self serving self entitled expectant people.

I dont even take my trash can out anymore.
I take my neighbor ladies trash can out with my trash in it.
Then I bring it back to her house.
Between the both of us we cant fill up one can in a week.

Seems like I am way off track here but I'm not.
When the mind set of people here change then and only then will we have our fantasy gardens.

It has to become socially unacceptable for people to waste, energy, land, time, food and money and not do their share.
