It's so genuinely frustrating that people talk more whether it's better to eat organic or GMO than how crops are actually grown.

I don't give a damn if the food I eat is a GMO, all I care about if the person growing the food uses environmentally sustainable growing techniques Like for the love of God, can the left stop telling people who want to eat higher quality food that they're being privileged??

Can we stop simping for large corps who make their food so cheap by essentially raping the landscape using environmentally shitty practices??

Capitalism that supports regenerative farming is more likely to help climate change than socialism that doesn't The broader point being: Capitalism and socialism are morally neutral systems that function based on what is incentivized. Just because you replace capitalism with socialism doesn't mean you get rid of the extractive culture that is our current system.

There's a lot of benefit to having a childlike mindset towards life. Allowing yourself to be more like that of a child can be paradoxically empowering in a way that pushes back against the drudgery of modern adult life. That said, childlike ≠ immature. You can still have a childlike sense of wonder about the world without having to act rude or disrespectful towards others.

Decided to buy the cheapest bag of frozen strawberries at walmart and literally 1 out of every dozen strawberries has this weird gross chemical taste to it, it's gross I've been told in the past that my choice to buy more costly organic food was a privileged one.

Sure, it's a privilege, but you can literally taste the difference, especially in fresh foods like vegetables. It turns out that pesticides in your food doesn't taste all that good.
