Crops can blight, animals can get diseases. I don't know much about hydroponics but I know that bacteria are a concern. What food source is the most reliable, the least likely to produce less food than expected?

Oh yeah, not to say that lawns make sense. It's just not a silver bullet.

Nah def not. Imo, from the evidence I've gathered so far about how the universe works, silver bullets don't exist. Every solution has warts somewhere. Things we call "good" tend to require good old fashioned struggle and discomfort, so people need to stop pleasure seeking and chasing imaginary silver bullets. But they probably won't, bc they're conditioned to pleasure seek by capitalism and advertising and pop culture. Blah blah negative blah blah /rant
