One thing that surprised me about the movie was how they were still getting the right amount of nutrients and vitamins from there when the only things that they were eating besides vegetables was honey, milk, and eggs. But even with this is it still enough to survive healthily.
I would think that they have pretty much abandoned the wants list because they have completely revolved there life around there house which is from the way I see it is all they every wanted
They most likely have one of the smallest foot prints in America because they are not buying anything besides cloths and small higine products so they are not wasting any thing and if they do end up not using what they grow then they sell it to the restaurant and share the wealth.
My thoughts on this family is that this is as close to a local living economy as you can get. If everyone in the world lived like this then that would reduce our intoxication of the earth by A LOT!!!!!!!!!!! How ever I would think that it would be better if we could not be vegetarians.

You're right, if we all lived like this, or at least more of us lived like this we would reduce harm to the planet. They don't just survive on honey, milk and veggies though, they trade their surplus harvest for staples like flour, beans and lentils (which would provide adequate protien for them.)
