Well, yes, I was specifically speaking to the self-sustainable part. (And really, growing enough to eat year round? Yeah, it's back breaking. Not when you're 20 or 30, but come back to me when you're in your 50s :)
I'm totally in favor of growing the things that you mention - and combined with a CSA, it's the best of both worlds.
But I really, really, wouldn't want to grow all the staples myself and be dependent on it.
