If my family had to pay the true cost of the food I ate before becoming independent I wouldn't be here.

Now my family has a couple of engineers, and my work has a positive impact in mitigation of climate change.

There are many realities out there. And many ways to fight climate change.

As someone who grew up intermittently food insecure, I am not unsympathetic to this. On the contrary, I am an aggressive supporter of broad food security policy because of this lived experience and empathy. No one should ever go hungry.

With that said, there is a discussion to be had about what effective and efficient ag policy looks like while being mindful of the above, in a world limited by physical constraints.
