re: #484 Justanotherhuman

OTOH, we’re talking modern times here, not medieval conditions. Even so, my late aunt told me stories of the Depression (when she was a young teen) of going to her aunt & uncle’s in GA and the wonderful food they had living on a farm. Plenty of fresh foods which they couldn’t get in the city. Even around here, supplies of fresh vegs and fruit is really bountiful since so many plant gardens—lots of little road side stands and people will just give you fresh tomatoes, cukes, peppers, squash, etc all the time. Even the local farmers market can’t match that since it’s become more of a crafters convention. : )

the article goes on to state that still a great many people on the planet don’t have good food to eat and are exploited so the rest of us can have the benefits of modern food production.
