9-5 work hours a day, 7 days a week to afford food or hunting and growing your own food?

Personally I would grow and hunt my own just because I don't want to be tied down all the time.

This is for food only, car/house/lift tickets or what ever is paid for.

Which one and why?

 
depends on the area, if you are in a place that has moose/bear/other big animals you can kill one and be set for a while.

also, if you grow your food can you have cattle and pigs?
 
Hunting you dont have as much variety, go to the store and get a box of stuff and your done. Hunting on the other hand, you have to go find your food, if you can find any at all. Then you have to skin, clean, drain and cook and all that. But you have more time to do so
 
work 10hours a days/7 days a week because thats exactly what I'm doing right now and I like it
 
"Sahlins' argument partly relies on studies undertaken by McCarthy and McArthur in Arnhem Land, and by Richard Lee among the !Kung. These studies show that hunter-gatherers need only work about fifteen to twenty hours a week in order to survive and may devote the rest of their time to leisure.[3] Lee did not include food preparation time in his study, arguing that "work" should be defined as the time spent gathering enough food for sustenance.[4] When total time spent on food acquisition, processing, and cooking was added together, the estimate per week was 44.5 hours for men and 40.1 hours for women, but Lee added that this is still less than the total hours spent on work and housework in many modern Western households.[4]"

Hunter-gatherers also eat healthier diets

We learned about this stuff in anthropology
