When most people in the western world have no idea where their food comes from and the processes that are required to get it to them then we have a problem.
Yesterday evening I spent time cleaning out the weeds in my vegetable gardens. Just a couple of weeks ago, I killed, dressed and butchered the last of my sheep.
My daughter teaches her children about gardening. My grandsons watched while I dressed and butchered the sheep. They were fascinated by it. My granddaughter was disappointed that she couldn't be there. So she will be with me when the goat is done. She is looking forward to it.
They know how and where food comes from. They have an advantage that others don't in that they will know how and what to do to obtain their food if it is ever needed.
These are experiences that were passed down to my wife and me and we in tern pass them to our children and grandchildren.
So many city dwellers have little or no concept of what is needed to give them the things of modern civilisation and they are the poorer for it.
So many will recommend particular diets without ever comprehending what it takes to get the ingredients to the table.
