Sorry for late reply - my reply was in draft for some reason,
I used to eat once a day as well - like six years ago I think I was doing it - I used to have just one large meal, with largely no sugar really - it was just like potatoes and meat kind of thing from memory - I felt great eating that way. I might go back and try it again, although I eat mainly plant based now. 3pm for a meal sounds about the time I was doing my one meal as well - although about an hour beforehand, I kept looking at the clock lol - I was hungry.
the good thing about automation is that hopefully as you say, it will compensate - as we age, and also in other ways that compound and give us more time to do other things - of course they are building robots for this task now - but I think the idea about getting something with an AI brain that can just do stuff, will be the future for smaller homes - like a simple four foot tall robot, humanoid that has a brain and can garden and do all that - you have two of them, and you could keep a good sized garden - I grew up with a quarter acre section with fruit trees, gardens, and we produced enough to subsist most things - it was really only meat we bought - other things we would trade or sell at roadside. Maybe the robots could cultivate a more natural approach to pest control, such as they do with dragonflies and flies on cattle etc., I would like to think it would be more like the bio-dome I have on my desk and everything had a natural order.
Thanks!
I once kept a couple doe rabbits and one buck. I tried to only breed the does about eight weeks before Easter, so that I could sell all the babies as Easter gifts for kids, which would pay for the whole years feed because mostly the rabbits ate the yard. It's ridiculously easy to keep rabbits, and if I allowed the does to breed 3 or 4 times a year, as they can, I would literally be unable to eat all the offspring. That's like two rabbits a week, and from only two does.
It would be incredible if there wasn't room on that quarter acre for three rabbit hutches. Still, rabbit is good food, but I don't think I'd want to eat only rabbit for the rest of my life. A half dozen laying hens produces >3 eggs a day, more like 5, and that's an awesome source of food - and they love to eat garden pests, so there's your integrated pest management right there. Chickens are even easier to keep than rabbits (except for noisy roosters. The neighbors rooster seems to think 1am is a good time to crow lately) and don't take any more room. I prefer chickens because eggs are like, the perfect food, but rabbits are a close second.
