    Great study. To those who believe that raising own meat, dairy, eggs, hunts, fishes, or traps comes in as “nearly free food,” either doesn’t place a value on their time, and/or doesn’t consider the large costs in investment and learning-curve / training involved. (And if it was that cheap and easy, then it would be reflected in low prices at the market and therefore still be cheaper. Evidently, it is not).

      you’re misreading my comment. I am not calling those methods nearly free (though, for some people, they are.) I’m talking about programs like SNAP or WIC in the USA or food banks or food distribution programs. if someone w literally hands you 5 pounds of pork, and you throw that out, you need to replace that food somehow, probably with money.
