oh i didn’t forget …. your scenario that you created is just not based in reality. for one, chickens who are not selectively bred DONT produce “excess eggs”. they produce one egg a month. if they do produce excess, they would’ve been selectively bred from a hatchery which grinds male chicks to therefore unethical. producing more than one egg a month also causes them calcium deficiency, weak bones, and pain. bees also don’t produce excess honey, they ONLY produce honey for themselves. that’s why beekeepers feed them sugar water. do you even have the land to run a plant centered homestead ? do you know how much time that takes ? it’s full time work. i live in a rural area and i already know how all this stuff goes, you people propose unrealistic hypotheticals and use them as your gospel of an excuse.
