Farming

In this pretentious, urban society, there seems to be a social stigma attached to farming and farmers.
An example of this is in one of my previous entries, in which a substitute teacher said "who would want to be a farmer?"
Honestly, I don't really care if people think negatively on that profession. Every has the right to choose their own path.
I am getting sick of the urban/suburban shallowness that exists in many places. People in cities and some suburbs are so afraid of hard physical work. Their definition of hard, strenuous work, is using the computer, or making a call.
People should stop looking down on farmers, because they provide food.
If all of the supermarkets closed down, it would be interesting to see what would happen. I wonder if people would start to farm their own food, or if they would find another way to be separated from the production.
