Heard this argument a few weeks ago which stunned me. This woman was being interviewed about her thoughts regarding nearby farm land being used to build new homes. She retorted along the lines of: “I don’t see why we need all this farm land anyway, you can buy your food from the store!”
Exactly. A lot of people are completely ignorant about how the world works. They just expect everything to function, without any idea of how or why. Full blown adults.
I can’t find their website right now, but there’s a charity that “borrows” suburban yards to grow produce which they then donate to local food banks. It sounds pretty cool.
