These people are so disconnected from reality of food production, like motherfuckers probably have never stepped into an orchard even at least once in their lives. Like for fucks sake, have they never seen a wild apple tree or something? Those fuckers are hard as rocks unripe.

It's Americans in general. So many people here have no idea where the food at their supermarket comes from or how it's produced.

Reminds of an anegdotr, teachers in preschool sometimes use it on kids to teach them.

The teacher asks: "Where does milk come from?"

And the kids answer: "...the store?"

Like teaching kids about farms and shit is like where all this "learning stuff" starts here in Poland.

My young child learns about farms in stuff in school, but it's a super sanitized "Old MacDonald" style thing instead of seeing the horror of the factory style farms we have in this country lol.

I think there's a bit more education about farms for older kids in rural areas with proximity to agricultural labor, but yeah kinda uncommon here.

Plenty of kids nowadays have grandparents with a small farm, some people have chickens in towns or even the fucking city. Hell I had helped with a runaway chicken one time. A lot of this is still a remnant of PRL and it's non-existent collectivization of farm-land so we have a lot of elderly small farmers. Many of whom barely make ends meet, and are very, very reactionary. But still, kids get to milk cows and uhhhhh... Drink raw milk :no-i-in-pezza:

I shouldn't be surprised since most "first-world" nations are like this, but how can people NOT know that apples grow from trees or

spoiler (CW: how meat is produced)meat comes from slaughtering animals, usually in inhumane factory conditions?

Also, most of the produce sold in supermarkets are plucked before they're ripe so they can survive the lengthy shipping time.

Imagine being so braindead to hate Bill Gates for his food when there so many more reasons to hate him.

I mean that pales in comparison to pressuring Oxford to not make their Covid vaccine open source. Dude has rivers of blood running through his hands.

Honestly almost forgot about that. I was furious then, I'm even more so now.

Was just listening to a Citations Needed bonus from 2021 where the guest is super optimistic that the TRIPS waiver would go through because "human life is more important than patents". I wonder if he's planning on voting for Genocide Joe.

USAans, when regulations have been stripped across the board resulting in bad produce: Clearly, this is fake food made in a lab!

Americans have been downgraded from 11th century peasants with computers to 9th century.
