I would not discourage anyone from growing their own food and collecting their own seeds, just be aware that in time of hardship, people will target you for food, even if you only have enough for your own family.

A good argument for Permaculture. Most people assume that a 'crop' looks like something they are familiar with. Hide your harvest with hardy perennials and change your diet. Who here would know a mashua from a nasturtium?
