town in england grows its own vegetables

[the last donut of the night]

Well, that’s not quite correct.
‘I watch ’em on camera as they come up and pick them,’ says desk officer Janet Scott, with a huge grin. It’s the smile that explains everything.
For the vegetable-swipers are not thieves. The police station carrots — and thousands of vegetables in 70 large beds around the town — are there for the taking. Locals are encouraged to help themselves. A few tomatoes here, a handful of broccoli there. If they’re in season, they’re yours. Free.


seems pretty interesting and something that could be applied in the future (maybe a part of the whole communization process?)

Yes, I would think that this could be applied in the future. But take as you please probably wouldn't work in most places. I mean its nice, but a reasonable rationing process would work better. Or just asking people to only take what they need.

[Ostrinski]

Eventually but not right away. Rations would have to employed during times of crisis, but I do think 'take what you want' will become a reality eventually.

yes food should be grown everywhere. the number 1 crop in the us is lawn grass, imagine food, not lawns!
