Speaking of agriculture, here’s how my #chili plants are doing:

@toni My ex used to say that all the time because he was so into eating meat and stuff and he believed the paleo spiel that pre-ag, humans didn’t eat a lot of grain. But they did. We’ve been eating grains & starches for basically ever.

Hunting & gathering is fun and all, if there were like ten k people on Earth as opposed to billions. But maybe that’d be a good idea.

I’m pretty happy getting my daily bread♥

@toni coming out of the oceans was a mistake.

@toniagriculture is what enabled the population growth that made hunting and gathering unsustainable; it also meant that people had less free time, encouraged the birth of the centralized state, the division of labour that in turn encouraged the birth of slavery, so it's not unreasonable to call it a mistake even if we can't go back.

OTOH, not dying because your hunter-gatherer population has been growing too much and it's no longer sustained by its territory, and you have no way to store significant amounts of food for bad times, is somewhat nice :)

Also, home baked bread :)
