Sadly nokiabot... In the west most people have nooooo idea .. Water comes pressurized from a tap with a turn of the wrist.. hot or cold on demand. Or utilizing the best in wasteful technology...the equiv. in (what is it again?) energy wasted to produce 1 plastic bottle is what...1000 glasses of purified water?....allll for 1 plastic bottle of water. food is grown, killed, prepared, precooked and packaged.. so it means many many many people have no idea how to grow their own food..or prepare it even. It makes for a dependent population. I've had the great education of being raised and living on a farm and the luxury of living in megalopoli and.... even back in the day ... I remember meeting many even then... who thought milk came from a carton... sad..but .. It is the way of things... Nowaday....well ...we are talking multiple-generational-f'-d upped-ed-ness frankly. I'm not blanket statementing everyone in the west... but I am most certainly talking of the majority of the population. If food stopped being shipped anywhere here longer than 3 days consecutively it means empty stores and a very scared population. And the beginnings of social breakdown. The warehousing systems here aren't meant for stockpiling. Just the way things have become....
