what has been done to our food is a great example. And what -- if anyone cares to admit what nugget of truth there is in the "conspiracy theory" about our diets -- is at the core of a lot of today's ills. But there will never be a consensus of this among "experts" so I have to believe what I believe. "Oh, then yer stoopid." Fine, I guess I'll remain stupid figuring things out for myself.
I've thought abt this a bit. The upside to the grocery stores prices is local farmers can compete. Yes it costs a bit more, but it's driving some neat innovations like container farms making a city block as productive as 70+ acres.
Yes it costs more. I prefer to think of it as I will eat less with more nutrition bc I am worth it. Simple choice to me. Eat fresh, local if possible and feel good or indulge until it diseases me.
