You hit the nail right on the head. Shopping from your local farmers markets would be much, much more affordable if we weren’t over taxed, over regulated, and spending $ subsidizing these monocrop factories of highly processed crap.
The system is completely backwards. To set up a small farm to produce quality food for your community, not only do you have to go deep into debt with the inflated land prices from fiat debasement, but you have to jump through so many hoops getting proper licenses and government permits. Yet at the same time, no subsidies exist for that small farmer while these 10,000 acre soybean plantations get government subsidies because of some antiquated Farm Bill created in the Depression era to supposedly protect domestic farmers prices (which it hasn’t at all).
Keep spreading the awareness though, we will win this battle eventually.
