Replying to Avatar Turner

I spent much of my early childhood on a commune. it was a large multi-family homestead where everyone lived off the land, ate organic/real food, worked hard, relied on natural remedies and isolated themselves from media, politics, and societal pressures.

you know what happened? they got diabetes, kidney stones, heart disease, parkinson’s, and cancers. there were a couple autistic kids and most of the others grew up to embrace drugs and alcohol. there were murders and sex scandals. the remnants today are constantly begging for money.

sorry to ruin your black panther party.

Interesting! Pretty area. Good reminder that good community and food are the baseline—not the be all end all.

for sure. of course I know people thriving out in the country as well. but it’s not some silver bullet for all your problems.
