So yeseterday, I sat down and figured out how many calories approx we need for a active healthy lifestyle (not dieting), and for our family of two, it worked out to 5000 calories per day, please be aware that I did use stats for a male at such a weight/age would do this many hours of manual labour, same with female to get that number.

So take that and times it by 365 days in a year, and you need almost 2 million calories.. Can I grow, raise, and harvest 2 million calories on my little farm.. the answer is, I don’t know? but its certainly worth a think on..

How many calories in a year does your family need? Do you think you could grow or raise that amount where you live now?
