this is why i think chicken is the best meat, no other animal is so easy and normal to literally raise in your backyard, plus they can get a decent amount of their food from bugs and foodscraps
it’s entirely feasible for basically everyone with a yard to own chickens and call the butcher when they get too old to lay eggs (or just near death), and this would make eggs basically free and meat very cheap, plus massive quantities of free fertilizer for farmers!
there’s still a lot of people who live in a place with a yard, and if most of them come together to require the ability to keep chickens there then it’ll be untenable for that permission to be denied by HOAs/landlords/local government

Yes, this is the gold standard (owning your own food sources) but owning your own land has become vanishingly rare these days
