The food from your garden can be better in taste, nutrition, and freshness than the vast mono-culture, petrochemically derived synthetic fertilizer fertilized (which kills off the natural soil ecology), marinated in fungi/herbi/pesticides (more petrochemicals), ""food grade"" waxed, slave wage harvested, trucked over 2000 miles, bright and shiny, refrigerator aged, supermarket produce.
Not to mention the exercise and soul satisfaction of interacting productively with nature and the slimming effects of a sparse harvest
As for chickens look into Muscovy ducks instead -best eatin' duck and egg. Free - feral populations currently overpopulate South Florida.
