You keep making assumptions about people, none of what you have said is based in anything. You assume urban people don't have access to "real" food, when I have farmers markets weekly where independent farmers come into the city and sell their crops. We also have organic co-ops near us, and we have the ability to choose where we shop when we do from several different stores, choosing where to choose our produce. On top of that I do have spac to have a tiny garden where I live, so you can just stop assuming things about us City folk. You really think we must eat Soylent green or something?
When I lived in rural America there was a single grocery store, there was no competition. I would argue I have more choice to eat what I prefer in the city vs in th country. So what you said could only be true only if you never go to a grocery store and you only grow everything yourself.
And even then, remember I grew up in the Midwest. Where did you get your seeds?. More than likely you are growing genetically altered crops at home, and they come from some some large corporation. You want to judge us? You don't even know what it's like to live in a city.
