can you name an island where the inhabitants grow a majority of their food? I can’t.
Hawaii; 300 years ago
Well, yes.
But the question was:
Are "the Hawaiians" going to grow all their own food after they chase "those damn haoles" off their sacred island?
In which case snorkel, your answer would also have to include a Time Machine. Otherwise I believe the question and answer occur in the year 2019 or at an unspecified date in the future after the haoles all leave. Not in the past.
FYI: Even most white people grew all their own food 300 years ago.
