Buying

Grocery shopping is a perfect example of a problem with our society.
We buy things that can be made at home.
We buy meat, which can be raised humanely, and with a low carbon footprint, on a farm.
We buy vegetables, which we can grow ourselves.
We buy baked goods, which aren't as good as home-made.

I really wonder what would be so terrible if we were all self sufficient, and sustainable. What kind of negative impact would there be if we didn't need to shop for everything? None. It would be good for us all, because it would require learning, and effort.
