[a farmer is talking in front of an angry crowd, pitchforks and all] I use the worst pesticides on my crops, raise animals in cramped conditions, take their babies away for slaughter, and have little respect for the environment

[the same farmer is talking in front of a now happy crowd, hearts and all] I’m a small local independent farmer though

    Or are you naive enough to think everyone should be growing their own Victory gardens?

    Yes.

      That’s really dumb due to economies of scale.

        I was joking of course, but I will say that a cool thing about gardening is you know exactly what you used on your plants instead of taking an industrial farm’s word for it

        also many people live in apartments and as such don’t have space to grow plants. Many people also live under HOAs, and as such aren’t allowed to grow edible vegetation, only decorative vegetation. These are difficult problems to solve, and “just live somewhere else” is rarely a viable solution.
