I think corn was eaten since thousands of years, too. And whether food forests were a big thing and not just common in some areas, is quite disputable.

"I have a Christian worldview" We are quite OT here, but I would say christianity in general is a utopian ideology as well. All humans could be living in peace and harmony, if they would just believe in Jesus Christ. (I know there

Well, I guess (hope) no one thinks it is due to genetic disabilities which are preventing disrupting innovations from (mainland) chinese. It is rather a cultural/political thing. Free thinking and stepping out of line is very dangerous
