There is absolutely no inconsistency between supporting responsible locally-grown agriculture and being a fire breathing conservative. A conservative conserves what is good.
Why should the hippies and anarchists be eating all the well grown local food? The health benefits are squandered on them.
I got a feeling that most that passes for conservativism today is ivory towered pontificating if the person doing the talking is unable or unwilling to do the work to provide a safe and nutritious diet and a godly education. We need to grow up strong children and educate them properly to repopulate a dark and dying world. That means the wombs and seed of our little ones need to be formidable.
Why should the hippies and anarchists be eating all the well grown local food?They aren't. They demand that there be less acreage devoted to farming, AND they demand that food production techniques that use more acreage (organic farming) be made mandatory.
Less farm acreage plus lower output per acre of farmland equals a LOT less food.
But, of course, you see, the idea is to produce a lot less food--because, in their ideal world, there will be a lot fewer people eating it.
