    Surprise, it comes out of the fucking ground! Of course if you want to eat something that is not native to your region it’s a whole thing with exploitation and whatnot. I just find the disconnection with nature/life jarring

      I think your observation is valid even though labor and planning are needed to produce enough and consistently enough to sustain a big population. Reconnection with nature, some autonomy in culture, I also think are necessary

      Food doesn’t simply erupt out of the ground on its own, not in quantities necessary to feed any kind of significant population. Farmers do in fact have to do labor to produce crops.

      The bit about food not simply erupting from the ground on its own in quantities sufficient to feed a significant population goes double for cities where you have lots more people and lots less growing land.

        food absolutely erupts out of the ground on its own lmao, the fuck do you think vegetables are?

        you can literally go out into the wilderness and just find food in the ground, what the fuck are you on about

          Not in quantities sufficient to feed any kind of significant population. You could at least get to the end of the first sentence before you reply.
