In an effort to combat resurgent food fadism, Pastor Wilson has invoked arguments that seem reminiscent of the population control folks. Cultural issues are making the strange bedfellows!
He says that the subdivision of property make it impossible for everyone to farm indefinitely. This is irrelevant to the discussion, because there’s more than enough room for everyone to farm if they want. But we aren’t arguing that everyone should farm (and I don’t want to!), we’re arguing that our food system oppresses the poor here and abroad and needs a complete overhaul.
There is much to deride in so-called sustainability. Permanence or tradition might be a better word with less baggage.
Time for less reductios and straw men, and more engagement with the economic and political issues that under-gird this discussion.
