We listened to the globalists on manufacturing and where has that gotten us? Flooded with crap that breaks and unable to find much of anything made in America. The American farmers feed the world, they are the best, so now here come the globalists again with their nonsense, and you know where its going to get us if we are stupid enough to listen to them. We have to draw the line somewhere, I say its here.
There is no reason why people can’t eat well and affordably if they forgo all the prepackaged stuff and opt instead to cook real food.
Cooking real food, as you put it, is just fine and dandy, but there is no way the entire population of the US can survive on only locally grown food. Not everybody has a backyard garden or access to local farmers, nor can they afford to pay more for food than they already are.
I do live in an urban food desert, but just a few steps over the city line are grocery stores and Walmart super-centers. There are also farms in the county that have stands during the growing season. I do have a garden.
