THE AVERAGE PERSON WILL BE SHOCKED AT HOW EXPENSIVE GROW FOOD. ONLY REASONS THAT FOOD IS REALLY CHEAP AT THE GROCERY STORE, THE ECONOMY RIGHT NOW BUT IN GENERAL, IS GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES. THEY LITERALLY PAY FARMS SO THEY CAN AFFORD TO OFFER THOSE LOW PRICES. SEE EXPENSIVE, REALLY EXPENSIVE PRICES AT YOUR LOCAL FARMERS MARKET OR YOU START GROWING, OWN FOOD SEE THAT IT ACTUALLY IS QUITE EXPENSIVE TO PRODUCE, SINGLE TOMATO, A SINGLE PEPPER. PUTS IT IN PERSPECTIVE HOW MUCH IT COST TO GROW FOOD. THERE'S AN IDEA TOTALLY UNDERSTAND CAUSE MOST PEOPLE HAVEN'T EVER TRIED GROWING THEIR OWN THAT GARDENING IS LIKE THIS REALLY CHEAP FUN HOBBY AND IT'S PEOPLE WHO GARDEN A ME IN THE YOU GUYS KNOW WAY. SO ANYWAYS, JUST MY PERSPECTIVE ON AND I HOPE THAT MAKES IT CLEAR OF WHY FOOD CAN BE SO EXPENSIVE AT FARMERS MARKETS LOCAL FARMER VERSUS GROCERY STORE. AND THE LIES WE'VE BEEN SOLD.
