Uhm, what? Another way too specific/obscure meme
It's making fun of unrealistic suggestions people make regarding potential solutions to divesting from industrial agriculture.
I am the purple one, as the land I have access too is whatever pots I can fit by my window which also doesn't have direct light.
People with health issues *that make them incapable of gardening in some way so must rely on the industry.
One would need to grow and preserve a lot of food to store away for winter and if a crop fails or the preserving technique didn't work they're fucked; thankfully one can just go down to the store... which is the main point of this meme.
I think zucchinis are the most efficient vegetable one can grow in their backyard or whatever, so one would be eating a lot of it.
Though, on the other hand, fresh-grown food from a garden (and a bit of moderate exercise) is likely to help with a lot of health issues...
It helps if you have a health issue that doesn't affect your digestion too much. Severe intestinal issues might make it very difficult to eat plant-based diets, as plant-matter is pretty hard to digest and most plant-based proteins might be fully off the table as well.
Health issues can just fuck up everything you wouldn't even think about, really. Hell, I'm trying to drink juice instead of water and eating a lot of salt on doctor's orders, which is pretty much the opposite they'd usually tell you to do
It helps me to garden because my health concerns are mostly becoming overly tired and physically uhhh sad. So the work can make those two lessened.
It's not very feasible for my husband who has cerebral palsy unless we did a lot of expensive setup so he could do most of it seated.
Well, I guess he can be the one sitting inside and shelling peas, cleaning out jars for canning, and slicing things up to go in the dehydrator.
Dishwasher does the jars, but he does fill and empty the dishwasher!
I... don't trust him with a knife and he doesn't trust himself either. Shelling peas though, that's a good idea!
