You’re not going to grow enough food on your average American lawn to survive off of either lol

Depends, as soon as you get into the exurbs where plots of land range from 1 to 5 acres, you can start growing a significant % of your caloric needs on your land.

Not with lettuce or fruits, of course, but with potatoes/beans and gourds likely.

[Shawnj2]

Sure you can but that’s not necessarily what people with large lawns are going for. Also a lot of the areas like that are completely unsuitable for growing food

That's true.

I'm told farming is very hard work though, especially without machines.
