>I think the international and domestic food policies of many countries help to cause wars and starvation That's my point. Food production affects social stability in ways that aren't immediately obvious. >But if I had to choose between having and eating my cake, I would prefer to let international relations slide in favor of growing food with my family, neighbors and co-workers, because I would rather increase the peace in relationships I can directly affect and growing and sharing my own food is a great way to do that You'd prefer to let other countries spiral into war and starvation? >In fact, I do make that choice. Because I can see its benefits directly, I also encourage others to do it. I grow my own food as well but I have doubts as to whether it is a scalable arrangement.
