Stockpile food and it will run out. Start growing food and maybe you will make it.
How much better off would cities be if people stopped with the stupid fscking lawns and golf courses and grew something useful on that land?

  A vegetable garden is a great idea, but do not diss lawns. I live in a very warm climate, and it is a fact that a green lawn, as opposed to paving or dirt, cuts down the temperature around your house 10 degrees, lowering your AC costs.

    It is also a fact that planting anything in abundance will do the same thing. It is just the cooling effect of the moisture aspirated by plants into the atmosphere. Try planting an edible groundcover and you will have the same effect. Try planting in all ecological niches, and you will have the same effect plus you won't have constant battle against "weeds" which are trying to fill those open niches.
