It's great that you're voluntarily becoming self-sustainable, but many actions which are great when done voluntarily make for poor public policy. In many areas, it's simply impossible to write a policy that is fair to everyone. Or it could work fairly but it doesn't scale. Ending agricultural subsidies sounds nice in theory, but what other consequences will it have? I sure wouldn't want to have to tell the low-income part of town "Your food is now twice as expensive, but if you just plan better and don't throw as much away it'll work out the same." Poor people can't afford tupperware! Lack of planning isn't their problem. Being poor is expensive.
