    Sadly there absolutely are people that think food is just made and appears at the grocery store.

      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!”

      I died a little hearing that.

        Growing up in a rural area, my school taught us that farmers were basically god.

        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.

        It’s disheartening.
