Being an "urbanite" is a choice: there are vast swathes of this country that had people, indeed functioning communities, in them, just a few decades ago ..... and now are full of ghost towns and scattered farms tended by old men ...... the kids by and large moved away chasing the almighty dollar and entertainment in the cities..... There is not an "overpopulation" problem ..... just a excess of people concentrated in urban areas that haven't got the sense God gave geese.
Ag policy in the United States is geared to provide food for these people as cheaply as possible, regardless of the cost to the people themselves ...... it makes them dependent, and easily controlled.
They get cheap (and often FREE) food, and free entertainment ..... but it's not good food, and to look at the majority of them the amount of they eat is debilitaing them .......
You get what you pay for, when you are dealing with reputable people. Corporations are NOT people.
So entirely true... Sadly

Big AG makes it almost impossible for a family farm to function anymore without a bank... And the bank wants their profits....
We have to grow commercial crops just to be able to pay for the ones grown organically, and to feed our livestock, otherwise the whole farm woukd be lost within one generation, since the odds are stacked, 4 cousins out of 23 left on the farm, the rest gone to the "big money"...
BTW lol, just for interest, we sell our fee range organic eggs for $2.50 a dozen, knowing the ones at the store are pushing $5.00. I don't do the organic for profit, I do it to teach others to do the same
