Quote Mangetout  
Possibly, although it might just work out that they decide their dad is a heartless, callous, bastard - and I’d  
rather scrap the project than end up with that.

I think it would take more than a few rabbits killed and eaten for food for that to happen.

You can thank the folks at Disney for turning a natural occuring event into something a parent thinks might  
turn his kids against them.  
Maybe I don’t read enough history books but I’ve never heard of anyone pre-disney worring about what his  
kids would think of killing  
an animal for food.  
Pardon me. I guess I didn’t think the kingdom of butter had no 4H clubs.

Here are a couple of links to a group of artists that work with things like these. All their projects are well thought out, designed, tried and tested - and it’s ‘open-source’ which means they publish the instructions on how to construct it yourself.  
[Here’s a hydroponic system](http://www.n55.dk/h1en.html) and [here’s another](http://www.n55.dk/hymo.html).

I heard they’re working on some kind of fish-farm system for home use now (as well as a honey farming system for big city residents); maybe they’re having trouble because the manual isn’t out yet.
