        As soon as someone says like don’t like beans in their chili I think that chili is going to be out of my budget. Most foods heavily rely on other things to help fill you up. Chili you can’t exactly put random carbs into to keep the cost down. Onions and peppers cook down for great flavors but minimal filling. Sure you could add more cheese and sour cream which keto diets would probably love but that isn’t getting your cost / filler down.

        My stomach is likely just to big, I need to cut portions and let it shrink

            Oh yeah, I’d love it to be sans beans… it’s just not going to be cost worthy for my budget. Good chili makes sense to not have beans, but whispers privilege, haha

                Yeah space is the issue. I personally had 13 chickens and just reduced the size yesterday to 7 because egg production was to high and good laying hens are worth more alive than butchering. Also, I love the boogers so I couldn’t eat them. The amount of space it takes to have a garden that could sustain 2 people is around 4 acres really. Unpractical for most people. Also impossible to have animals in that area without containing them to tiny areas many wouldn’t agree with. Self sufficiency is rough in the confines we practice most places… But expanding areas only hurts society in other ways. (Drive times, resource usage, etc)

                I get what you mean though.
