not impossible by any means,grow your own has nothing to do with inflation IN fact it makes even more sense in times of inflation,higher taxes,etc.Lets see,on a hundred acres I could bottle feed a couple of calves ,hold them year round on grass .Have them butchered and cost almost nothing.( grass fed of course)if I go to the grocer it will cost me 5-6 dollars a pound for steaks,and that same steak will cost $15 at a resturant.why not keep that money in my pocket?its nothing to spend $100 at the grocery store and not have a full basket.why not keep that money also?old saying goes.."fastest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket"..never is truer than when money is tight and times are rough.yes we spend less money percentage wise on groceries now,even though they are higher cost wise.but we also are making FAR AND AWAY more money than we used to per capita,and every thing is higher.lets see, I can raise a steer up to 800 lbs and get on a good day $1.45 a pound for it,then go directly from the sale barn to the store and spend from $3-$8 a pound to buy it back in a pretty wrapper..why didnt I just transfer that money from my personal account over to my farm account without any hassle and show more of a profit myself?its worth just as much in my belly as it is in yours.And I can save from 1-5 dollars a pound to boot.To your way of thinking does it make more sense to spend even 15% of your money on groceries than it does The 1-2% you would spend if you only bought staples?what you are saying basically is that crops are worth more than finished products?dont think so ,unless lots of folks in this world are losing money.perhaps you are talking about the costs of raising the crops doesnt make it profitable with gas so high and things.well if that were true you better be praying, because every farmer in the world will be out of buisness this fall. and again you better be holding on to what you have. feeding your self and yours is always first,after that then you become profitable,wheather You grow your food,I do,Or a little old lady in mexico does.
