The third parties provide an experience.

I rather not have that experience. That experience is forced upon me. Like how paying taxes is forced upon me.
Hardly. If you do not pay your taxes, other people will seek restitution. If you do not engage in the experience provided by the food middlemen, nobody is going to care.

One can always by directly from the farmer, or produce their own food, if they truly do not want the experiences provided by the third parties. But I expect most people will find out that the experiences are actually pretty great.
