[QUOTE="britt, post: 8035456, member: 1739"] Society works by people of different abilities doing different roles. In the days of hunter gatherers some hunted, some gathered and the old or weak stayed in camp to look after the children and tend the fire. The hunter was grateful to the gatherers when they were unsuccessful, and to the old to allow them to go and hunt. Society is much more complex today with doctors, teachers, soldiers and even stock brokers. None of whom put food in front of anyone, but all play a part. The farmers place in society is to produce food. No more or less important than the others, when society can sustain them. But if society slips to a more basic system, war or pandemic (a proper one, not like the relatively minor one that we are currently having) being the most likely reasons, the more basic role of food provision, farmer or hunted, become more relevant. In times of plenty the farmers role may be as a park keeper, but when food is needed we are obliged to fulfil our role in society. But if society is not prepared to appreciate it, they can go hungry ! [/QUOTE]
