the alternative is planting and cultivating veggies at home it means back-breaking work weekends of hoeing and digging pulling out weeds only to find youve just pulled out half your lettuce crop by mistake!
Apologies for off-topic. This guy is completely wrong. It's not back breaking if you do it right, and can be extremely low maintenance.
Get some raised beds installed, build up with soil, teach the kids how to raise and plant, seedlings and you will be rewarded with fresh food indefinitely.
