    And that it will have to buy a farm for no reason I can understand.
    £700 inside is not that great to be frank. If the role covers about twice your expenses and you can’t differ the taxes, have travel expenses and have a few months on bench at the end, the average take home would be not great.

    farm is to escape the nonsense world the previous generation has created. How are you people contracting if can’t put things together from few posts?

    Calorific value was big with our ancestors as they burnt about 5000 calories working on the farm/factory.

    Much of what we eat is celebration food not normal food.
    your celebration food, as opposed to what your ancestors were eating, might not contain any actual pork meat. No nutritional value and additives to add taste and texture etc.

    if you have time google about ultra-processed foods and take it from there

      I thought that the millenial boomer narative was just a few memes in some dark corners of the web but apparently we have tutorials…

        Buy a farm in the UK and there is more nonsense.

          You might like to watch Mr. Jeremy Clarkson's new show about taking up farming...

              my parents have one albeit a modest one, inherited from grandparents and back home.

              I am not particularly keen on that area, nature is beautiful, all 4 the seasons as they should be, but on the other part the people and the opportunities are not there...
              I was thinking of selling everything once my parents cannot take care of things and maybe get something around here or France. We'll see how things go.
              Already suggested it to them but they don't seem very fond of the idea. They can't do a lot of the things, only grow some corn, chickens. And grapes for wine.

              They've struggled with finding people to do work from time to time as well, most of the people from around there are in the West (working or stealing) ironically.

              Food will become very important I think over the next decade or two and eating organically produced food would be best.

              actually did, it is quite a lot to manage but if you do not have all the expenses that he did, amortise the equipment in time and maybe focus on something else other then sheep ... he had 82k in subsidies and probably another hundred in crops. can't remember.

              but at the end his conclusion was that it was a challenge but he wouldn't have done it any different. there is something to the countryside that is appealing.

              Watched actually quite a few of his video until I've seen the Brexit sticker on his old Land Rover. The silly old boy playing innocent and international just to show his true nature from time to time...

              He also was ranting about how the european union does not allow pesticides or GM while at the same time claiming he cares about the local fauna. Hope he got the gov bailout now but from the cars in his garage he'll probably be ok.
