Gardening is a hobby. You don't do it to get cheap fruits and veggies.
The results speak for themselves though, and you absolutely cannot beat a tomato right off the vine.
tell this to everyone giving advice to people in poverty
The best we can do is learn and inform, while being empathetic and understanding.
For those who can garden, great!
For those who can't, might consider joining a community garden or help start one.
This is also not possible for everyone, but from my own experience, community garden communities do free lessons to help and teach new people.
Coming together around a common good, that is what we can do.
