I like Rob. He's an environmentalist, but he doesn't seem like a jerk who talks down to people.
I like Rob too. He seems like a man who would help you be enviromentalist too :)))
As along as I don’t gotta hear his bs irl I don’t care

He literally ate his problem
That's a great idea😂

Yes indeed! My full name is Robin Julian Greenfield. :)
I read somewhere back then on how they picked their surname, it was taken from their jobs. So if their job was a carpenter then they’ll be John Carpenter, or John Turner as “a turner was a man who turned wood on a lathe and made things like wooden bowls”. They eventually that became their family name past down to their kids🤷🏻♀️ so probably his ancestors were probably doing green fields back then
😂

@R H Perhaps your perception of what others should be doing is the source of the bitterness you express. You can't make or expect others to conform to your way of thinking, especially not when you take such a negative approach. Perhaps instead you can take joy in the fact that your contributions not only increased your quality of living, but were able to help others who for one reason or another weren't able to do it themselves. Whatever you do is your choice, just something to consider.
But them we eat you 👹

I've seen a few of his videos. At first I was like "Okay, but he used salt and oil and spices pre-made, right?" Nope. Literally everything that entered his mouth was grown or foraged. His salt was from ocean water that he boiled away, his spices he grew, his oil was from wild foraged coconuts. It was wild, man... and very inspiring.
That's right Sara! Glad to have inspired you! I will continue for decades to come (as long as I'm still alive that is).

This is honestly a pipe dream of mine to live off the land with a garden and some chickens but it’s likely I won’t ever have the time to do so. One can dream.
It's something I've been dreaming of doing ever since reading Of Mice and Men. I likely won't be able to achieve something like that, but like you said, one can dream haha
Camer, of mice and men is not the book I would have expected to inspire you lol. But yeah I think a lot of this dream was inspired by books I’ve read throughout the years. I Just hope we don’t end up exactly like Lenny or George

You haven't met my grandparents, half their backyards are gardens (in Canada) & they have so much home grown food. My grandma has a strain of lettuce she got from Croatia like 50 years ago from another family she was in contact with. It's not genetically modified at all & I can never find lettuce that tastes that good in salad. I'm just curious, where do the seeds come from in lettuce? I'm going to have to learn how to grow that so I can pass it along to my grandkids in the far future.

that sounds like something someone from lousiana and alabama would say

Some could call that fast food
@@seth7407 not fast enough
roadkills are nasty they start to decompose after dying which you may not notice when you see a roadkill but it's definitely not healthy, and of course that's just my opinion
Everyone talking about the squirrels but aren’t paying any attention to the fact that he ate deer that were hit by cars
People donate hit deer all the time if the animal just died and was initially healthy. It's part of rural / hunting culture. Most deer deaths via cars are accidental and it's a good way to dispose of the body rather than waste potential deer meat that can feed families. He on the other hand, went out and intentionally killed the squirrel. I'm also fine with that as he didn't just kill it to kill it, but put the carcass to good use to help sustain himself.

I wonder if you would feel about Choosing not to reproduce.. Its a fantastic solution for many problems. Think about all the waste one human in their lifespan creates. Industries wouldn't have to keep making more and more of things in order to sustain growing populations. I wonder how you would feel about systematic genocide?

Fruit trees and vegetables should be grown publicly more often, especially for needy communities. 👌🏽
Agreed!
I live in Phoenix. We have citrus trees absolutely everywhere private and public property,also pecan trees, and olive trees too! (with black olives on them), rosemary, and more.
@@mindjoystudio6436 Wow, that is amazing! I am from South Africa and I absolutely think this concept would be so beneficial in our communities; as food insecurity is a huge problem in my country.
In my country the don't allow it and the reason is to keep the market price, sounds silly right
I live in Argentina in front of a train rail, on the soil there's mostly flower trees from the zone, but there's a few avocado ones, and for some reason a random berry tree. I remember I would go eat the berries with friends when it wasn't so insecure to stay out. I still see people go catch some avocados, I saw even twice a person on the high point of it, at around 5mts... Crazy people. Most do sell it tho
I really like how he was focused on sustainability rather than strictly veganism. Great video.
The only thing he didn't mention is that people in cities aren't able to live like this. They will still need mass produced food. We need to make production more efficient (for example using food flats using led) and use less plastic for packaging.
@@meinteybergen4617 I don't think the reason he did this was to get everyone to live like this, I think it was more along the lines of getting people aware of where there food comes from and trying to incorporate similar methods.
If your in the city you can try community gardens, bocany gardens or buying from local farmers.
That's completely reasonable when you live like him, but when you're a normal person veganism is the only way to eat sustainably
Alex Robert I know, but I just appreciated his perspective. 😊
@@meinteybergen4617 Even if you live in a city, you could still eat more locally by going to your local farmer's market. I live in a big city and we've got farmer's markets, we've got community gardens, if you know enough about plants you could forage at the parks or gardens. You can also grow some things like herbs and strawberries and citrus inside if you've got a decent window. Yes, these nationwide distributors of food and produce should be doing their part as well, but there are still ways for consumers to do their part even in a city.
"Florida man only eats food that he grew or foraged for one year."
It is possible, but not feasible. In order to do this you'd have to dedicate most of your productive hours on getting food. No time for a job or virtually anything else.
That is definitely a good point. This type of lifestyle requires a lot of work. From experience, maintaining a garden/farm is a pain. Especially if you have to go to work. So I had to do everything during the weekends and whenever I could during the week. Assuming you didn't work, it'd actually be a fairly decent way to live. You can spread out the work evenly over the course of the week rather than a many hours on Saturday or whenever possible.
Think of doing 50%. Or 25%. Then it’s still that much better, but with less commitment.
correct.
Also: No need for a job.
If the work of gardening is done as a community and the bounty is shared, I think everyone can get food and also have plenty of time for other things
If I was going to be stuck in the wilderness with anyone it would be him
That won't help

I'm vegan and I think it is perfectly fine what he did. His lifestyle, killing a few squirrels, is better for nature than the lifestyle of many other vegans.
Also because producing crops on a big scale automatically means the death of many insects, mice etc that live in those fields.
You know I appreciate this a lot. Instead of trying shame or aggressively push his ideas on others like a lot of environmental activists. He shows it in a better light, and does it in a very non judging way. Props to him.

He should've bought chickens, then he would've had eggs all year long.
Chickens don't normally lay year round. At least in my experience
@Women & Women First Even in the summer that's only 1-2 eggs a day though. There wouldn't really be enough imo
@@sydneydowd8969 if they are cold then they won't lay but if you have a heat lamp they lay all year around.
@@shellbell4765 in the best of conditions yeah. My family had one for our hens but they definitely stopped laying for months in the winter. Ymmv though
The reason I didn't have chickens is because I would have had to grow and forage 100% of their food too and I didn't have the experience or the space to easily do that. Next place I settle down I intend to. have chickens.
Sending love!
Rob (the guy in the video)
Because this lifestyle is not accessible to everybody, the takeaway should be eat locally grown food.
No
why
Because when you are a locavore, you support small businesses run by families. I don’t know how old you are, but you may be too young to understand why buying local is more important.
Sure, it’s cheaper to get the fruits and vegetables from elsewhere, (somewhere not local) but the end trip comes to yourself helping other families earn an income instead of buying mass grown, chemically sprayed food. Also, if it is local, there won’t be packaging on the produce, because it won’t need to be protected.
edit:
tldr;
support local shops or farmers because you are helping people earn money instead of giving it to a nationwide company
They're most likely trolls lol but thank you for taking one for the team and explaining eating local in a very good way!
@@mangoraichupancakes i would also like to add that aside from the standpoint of helping small scale businesses, thematically closer to the topic of the video are ideas of environmentally friendly practices such as 1) lowering transport costs/carbon emissions, 2) not everyone can just drop their means of income to start home gardening enough to actually feed you (as a fellow gardener, even a normal garden takes a lot of time!), and 3) not everyone has the access to land (I live in bustling Osaka) - I would even daresay that access to land is a social class issue so there's that
Lesson from this:
skip the garden and just eat squirrels
I accidentally grew some tomato plants through compost and was able to enjoy my “first” garden. So I completely agree that there is a special happiness or fulfillment with growing your own food. I hope to have a bigger garden one day.

But look at it here, how amazing it all came out to be and how much value he brought to the world, in knowledge, wisdom, inspiration, and a plan that works.

No chickens? You can have chickens in most small towns, you don’t even have to just use them for meat, you can get eggs which have a good amount of protein!
not an efficient method for protein, you have another mouth to feed
A lot of small towns won't let you have chickens either it really depends on where you are.
@@jakejakedowntwo6613 it's true. But chicken can also eat your foodscraps (veggies, etc.) So, that would actually solve 2 problems at once. There is a school in France that has a henhouse, the kids take care of the animals, learn more about where their food comes from and feed the chicken with the cafeterias foodscraps
@@valeriepoulin4297 I agree.
I live in the country so I really can't talk (I have plenty of chickens, including some "designer breeds" just for pets and show)
But most small towns will allow up to 3 hens. And they common, laying breeds are pretty hardy over winter and do well still with only foodscraps (although if you can provide more, do. Chickens need ALOT more calcium then veggie scraps. Of course that's also a way to rid of Egg shells...my chickens love egg shells and it's actually really good calcium as they use alot of it to make the shells.
@@klover_leaf we also feed my chickens with egg and eggshells sometimes. Mostly when they don't come out perfect or the shell seems a bit brittle. I live in Canada so the chickens are inside from November to April but we tried to give them a lot of space still. In the summer they are outside but still not aloud to roam free because of regulations.

Would you please write a book on the food growing and plants with pictures to teach others please. I want to learn.
Thank you
Mary
I love so much what you said about whether you’re growing your own food, you don’t understand the challenges and how those people have to turn thief problems into solutions. Lovely video.
Rob: I'll be a vegetarian.
Squirrel : im gonna end this man's whole career
Actually he ended the whole squirrel’s career.
Knight 5521 he really flipped the uno reverse card 🤣🤣
69 likes. Nice
Rob ended that man's whole life
If we put this guy on Survivor, he'll probably make a 3 Michelin star restaurant in the middle of the island and everybody will be living the dream life😄 this is serious talent though, much respect!
Edit: for yall disputing talent vs. hard work, you are both right. It definitely took hard work to make this lifestyle a success, but there is also a little bit of talent (a green thumb if you will). For 4-5 years, I tried growing different fruit saplings from seed, and they all eventually died (even with my diligence and research.) So basically, y'all are both right😄 have a great day reader!
Ikr!!!
Not talent, it's from working hard for what you want. But I agree it's commendable!
Vicki Delphine it’s talent
Not talent... I think he is dedicated and love to do the experiment
He had never farmed before this challenge. He practiced for three months before starting.
I love this guy! So inspiring, and motivational with a cause. Keep challenging the norms :)
That "the best tasting tomato" moment is every farmer's thoughts after eating the fruit pf their labor. Including me!
Guy: nobody has ever lived like this for a year.
native Americans: AM I A JOKE TO YOU
Native alaskans
Farmers: amateurs..
Hunter-gatherers: what about us-
Europeans: yes you are now give us your land
lil Jim true
There is this Asian channel called "Liziqui" and she does this and its so peaceful
I recommend watching it.
Ah.. Lizique... Her channel is more than just garden channel. Full of surprise and creativity 😊
Yes, I love her channel
Lizique or what ever her name is a very I say a very carefully written and gorgeously choreographed video that we cannot actually do in our own term, this guy in the other hand is just a next door good neighbour that we can actually follow.
*Li ZiQi 😁
She can make anything....
Finally someone who realised that even though vegans purchase vegan food because they hate animals being killed. ANIMALS ARE STILL BEING KILLED!!!!!!!! As someone who has lives on a farm my whole life I don’t understand how little people know about things.
But veganism is about reducing unnecessary suffering. You can't say that veganism is bad because there are still some animals being killed.
Vorname Nachname yes but it’s not some. It’s thousands or millions and it’ really bad.
Vorname Nachname it isn’t some! It’s millions and if you saw it you would rather eat meat to stop it from happening. I’m not saying don’t be vegan because I’m not overly thrilled by meat but it’s just wrong how vegans think it’s ok for some animals to suffer so that they can get some “cruelty free tofu” or whatever.
@@sarah-janemccall562 I'm vegan and I get your perspective but I honestly don't think that way, some animals are being killed in plant crops, of course but much less animals are being killed than in animal agriculture . And even if your think woa that's not true... think that it takes 16 kg of grains to make 1kg of meat therefore even if you're like ohhh but a lot of animals are being killed for plant food, well most of the grains are going towards feeding lifestock, so either way, being vegan reduces cruelty significantly. Of course it's nor perfect but it's more ethical as it produces way less cruelty.
I started a kitchen garden 2019. It was incredible. I prepare compost from leaves, kitchen waste, fruit peels, I ferment overly ripe fruits and irrigate my plants with it. I rarely go for grocery shopping. It is so satisfying. And it's really helpful during this pandemic.
his name is rob Greenfield, he plants green food and wears a green shirt in a green room, next to a green tree
Some next level nominative determinism
This guy's is such an apt representation of *living up to his name.*
Joseph Burak Wait til I come through

Next level trolling of interviewee: fake office "tree", ceramic mushroom, glowing Tibetan salt lamp (imported), and... a pinecone.

Health and happiness to you,

Cheers,

Me: *takes rob’s food*
Rob: *stares intently*
“eat your problems...”
Good job buzz feed for actually making a video worth watching. I havent watched in years and this was a good thing to see from your channel
6:19 absolutely best part. *So I ate the squirrels*😂😂😂
“The squirrels were my problem, so I ate the squirrels”
*modern problems require modern solutions*
stolen
Stormtorch sorry I didn’t look far down into the comment section
Actually, looking at the context of the situation "modern problems require erstwhile solutions". Does not sound as well, but is basically what is going on here.
