    All the food you have ever bought sure, but what about eaten? I’ve eaten wild blueberries, venison jerky that a coworker shot, gutted, and processed himself, my grandma used to grow rhubarb in her garden and made pies and jam from it, my other grandma grows tomatoes & broccoli…

      Sure I guess. I have also pitched a tent in a forest before so didn’t have to deal with for-profit housing in some instances too.

      The issue is the vast majority of instances are for profit. And it would be impossible for the vast majority in modern urban society to grow/hunt their own food or pitch a tent in the woods.

        Ever been to a potluck or gotten a free meal at a church? I’m with ya that I still think we need industrial level AG, just I think we could do better if it wasn’t all driven for-profit.
