Yes that is true and so sad at the same time. We are losing so much by not making it easier for small farmers/homesteads to get started.

There is really no excuse for the amount of people around the globe that go hungry on a daily basis and also no excuse for the diseases that go uncured...despite everyone knowing there are cures out there...well except greed, that is the only excuse I can think of, and its a crappy excuse at best. :(

If everyone (or at least those in rural areas) had even two acres of food growing on their land then nobody would ever have to worry about food again...of course this is just my opinion and we all are entitled to our own. :D
