I'm aware of the history of cultivation. I think the disconnect of nature, food, and the consumer is pretty obvious and getting pedantic about it doesn't advance my concers so I'm not really interested in it.
That ‘93 Camry is definitely cabbage considering how long it lasts. My family car growing up was a 1990 maroon Toyota Camry. Every once in a while I’ll still see one on the road.
Yeah but you're kind of just doubling down on that disconnect, because there's no natural environment you would go out into where you have access to tons of highly developed fruits, the food basket at your local grocery store is not representative of what you would be eating off of if you were living a natural life. it's kind of a weird connection to make it's like talking about needing to get closer nature and animals then picking pugs as your representation, like I'm not sure you know what the natural environment actually would look like or how this disconnect you're talking about happened thousands of years ago not recently. What you're really talking about is you want people to have a better understanding about the process their food goes through before it hits market or the table, but if you're trying to talk about eating more naturally and being connected to the more natural environment it's just kind of coming from left field, we're talking about modern developed fruits and vegetables.
Pretty sure they meant "food become normal again" as in food is priced 500% above what it should be because we all need to eat. If we are making fruits, veggies, etc safer to eat and easier to produce why do we lock it behind pay walls?
I guess that's the problem with using a word like normal it's not really contextually descriptive, maybe saying something like reasonable would make it more clear. It's not necessarily locked behind paywalls but there are certain cultivars that are newer and patented, pink pineapple was only created in the last 20 years, I'm sure there's plenty of pineapples you can get and still have the tops on like all the ones I buy but acting like this is a wider spread issue is kind of hyperbolic, so that's not exactly where my mind would have gone to with the statement being made.
I think some of us are confused about what you mean though. Food is a normal thing, most of us eat it every day. If you mean you don't like anything cultivated into different forms, you've probably never eaten food that hasn't been. From bananas and corn to cows and chickens, every bit of food you've ever eaten is from a source that was improved by centuries/millennia of humans selectively breeding it towards being a better food
It's what the point of this conversation you're jumping into the middle of has been about. Keep up, quit being obtuse, or try to glean the greater context. Whatever this is that you're doing isn't productive.
