> Please invest in some happy backyard chickens

I guess that depends on your interpretation of "invest." I don't know of anybody who claimed to save money on eggs by raising their own chickens. It's more of a lifestyle decision than a financial one.

ya that is likely correct in most cases, but I bet one could sell their surplus at a discount from store and break even.

So that means "invest" the time and resources to take just a small piece of the food supply chain into your own hands.
