Honestly, it makes me so mad.

I understand that lawns are nice to look at, but seriously, if everyone grew strawberries or beans, we'd all be much better off. Especially in countries like Australia where droughts are so common, it's crazy to spend precious water resources on watering lawns which really don't add much.

There's also the learning and respect element too. I'm sure people would be far less likely to throw out food (US households average 20% food throwout rate) if they knew all the effort that goes into growing.... and there truly is nothing more satisfying than adding your homegrown anything to your evening meal.
