You probably never heard of herbivore!

I like her, but I am not sure about her longevity. The problem being is that it is only (simi-) modern distribution of food commodities that allow someone to live of vegetables.
I now understand why my grandfather and father kept a garden. Yes, you can live on your own garden, up to a point, but you still need protein.

Provided you plant a Bacon Bush, a Cow Tree, and a Chicken Shrub you'll be fine.

Oh yes, a bacon bush would be just perfect(*). Any pointers as to where I could find one?
(*) I did enjoy the occasional full English breakfasts when I was in the UK. They will kill you if you have them too often but the occasional one is quite good and filling. ( Apart from the bacon the beans and mushrooms where not bad either )

I was told Bacon Bushes were on sale at my local garden centre. I went to have a look, but as I approached one of them it suddenly leapt out and started shooting at me. Turns out I was in the ham bush aisle.

Don't confuse a garden with a farm! One is for supplementing ones diet and pleasure, the other is dedicated to raising food.
And as far as living off of vegetables? I scraped since 1971. My son, raised only on that sort of stuff, was on varsity sport teams (as was my youngest daughter). They did rather well in their studies, too. So apparently one can live quite well and get their protein and flourish.
Beans and nuts have serious protein content (just a quick couple of examples). So do grains (wheat-like more than rice-like in this domain).
You've been raised in a country drenched by propaganda bought-and-paid for by the meat industry. Eat what you want, but do get the facts straight.

I disagree with your definition:

I believe that a garden is for raising food for your table, while a farm is for raising food for sale.
We raise vegetables and chickens in our garden for our own consumption. We raise goats for sale — most are slaughtered for export or for dog food.

Correct! 
I wish I had a house/property, like my father and grandfather(s), because it is amazing what you can make. I grew up in a world where I moved to the job, instead of the other way around.
Now I make my own bread (like my mother, grandmother, and grandfather(s)) and understand why they kept gardens. Give me a garden and some spices (hopefully, from the same garden) and I will give you a meal that is better than a prepackage meal every time.

Fact - steak or bacon tastes better than any vegetable.
Case closed.

Some berries beat steak/bacon. Wild raspberries. Norwegian blueberries (very different from American Blueberries). Some varities of strawberries (although I like to pour a little cream over the strawberries, so it is not 100% vegetarian).
I think some vegetables are really tasty as well. If you grow your own carrots in the garden so you can pull finger sized ones up from the soil, wash the dirt off in cold water, and chew them five minutes after harvesting, then they are great! Cauliflower is great, too, either in a creamed soup, or baked with nuts and cheese. (Again, the cheese makes it not 100% vegetarian, but it suits the cauliflower taste very well.)

I walk into a convenience store an hour ago and took it for granted that the guys delivering the new stock all wore scarfs as face masks.
A year ago, if 3 guys went in to a store, when it was 90F (~32C) outside, everyone would have thought about a possible holdup. Now it is just same old, same old.
I found this entertaining and thought of the following.
Sorry, I deleted all the rest of my comments/thoughts, on account of it being a great scenario for a book. Which I have added to my ideas journal for future reference. I will share this with my brother (a published writer), and record all my ideas.
Hint: Most of those here that are ~40">=" years old, know what this can lead to (I hope). Most of those under 30 take the bull for granted.

You might have heard that most social network reinforce the media and point of view bubble that we have by prominently putting forward whatever view we already supports?
Well I dunno if they changed their algorithm, or if I fell through the cracks, or something...
Now on my Facebook page I got link I never got before, like a video on how to defend Christian Faith against Unbelievers.. This is like unreal...
Now I wonder should I watch the video out of curiosity? While it might enrich my knowledge of the world, simply watching such stupidity feels physically painful (quite literally!  )...
Hard conundrum, should I chose pain and (not very useful) knowledge of other social group or blissful ignorance?
Mmm...
Come to think of it, this is a general problem. Simply engaging with some.. different people, feels painful sometimes. Not because they punch us or something. But the simple thought gap between us and them is simply too wide and hurting. Yet engaging them can be necessary.
One could wonder how could one do it without needless suffering?!

It depends...
If it is really crystal clear for you that the video is just extrinsic stupidity... then you can have a look, maybe you might laugh your a... off
But the risk is there too, that you that stark, that your head aches after a huge facepalm
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Once you watch one, the algorithm will recommend more. And they'll get steadily more batshit with each view. Before you know it, you'll be watching a video explaining how the lizard people from the hollow Earth, in cahoots with the last survivors from Atlantis, are using 5G to infect us with programmable chips so they can use us to mine for cryptocurrency, and only this expensive bit of tat that the video host happens to be selling will protect you.

So.. not watch!
However, about what you said about Lizard People, isn't that true?!

Lies, lies I tell you.
They don't mine cryptocurrency, they will use it to control us so they can take over the surface again

That has to be the best conspiracy theory I've ever heard! You could make millions off of that!
"When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others; same thing when you are stupid."
Ignorant - An individual without knowledge, but is willing to learn.
Stupid - An individual without knowledge and is incapable of learning.
Idiot - An individual without knowledge and allows social media to do the thinking for them.

I recently had some Jehovah witnesses at my door.
While I don't agree with what they're doing, they're still people so I'm nice to them.
So I asked "If there's a god, why would he allow so much suffering?"
The answer amazed me.
Apparently, God has a bet with the Devil that humanity can make it on its own.
Once we have proven ourselves and the Devil lost the best, God will return and make paradise on earth.
I literally told them "No offence, but your God is an a**hole if ever there was one! So much suffering for a bet with the Devil? How big is this guy's ego, how small is his dick?"
They understood my point, but still insisted he's merciful 
Unfortunately, I haven't asked what happens if God loses the bet, because things seem to be headed that way
