Well my point is that we shouldn’t be so dependent on them.
Funny you say that, because I had a conversation just last night discussing this issue of absurd dependence. I am a big fan of old movies, and was watching a silent movie from the 20’s a few nights ago on TCM, and it was about this poor lady in the city who was jealous of her next door neighbor who she said “had so much” because she had a small chicken coop in her back yard. That was quite common place back then to have chicken coops and gardens and the like, even in the city, as well as preserving and canning and curing meats Hell, even BR has a city ordinance still on the books which allows you to keep a certain number of chickens in your back yard.
I’m afraid we really do live a very unrealistic and impractical life in regard to just basic human existence. None of it really makes good sense, and is completely tied to our ability to transport, distribute, keep cool, and a healthy farming industry. If any of that is ever disrupted and we can’t fill those grocery stores we are in real serious shite without any backup plan at all.

Exactly, try putting up a chicken coop in an HOA neighborhood and watch the shite hit the fan.
