On a 3,000-4,000cal diet, you'll need to eat approximately 12 pounds

artichokes, if they're of a comparable cal level as the taters, and
you got just over two days of food before you start starving.

Who the hell eats 4 thousand calories a day? A thanksgiving dinner is
2000. Are you going on personal experience with calorie intake? I
would hate to have you as a dependent.

By the way, thanks for being a regular ray of sunshine, I didn't know
there was gonna be a pop quiz on this. As I said in my first post, I
DONT KNOW how many acres require self-sufficiency.
