Do people truly understand what they’d have to subsist on if they only ate seasonally? Do they know how far away the greenhouses (which can’t produce all that much) of Southern Ontario are? Jordan is more than 100 km by road, never mind the serious vegetable producers around Chatham.

What we need is less government in all respects. Reduce regulation and increase liability, so that people can’t rely on faulty or captured regulatory agencies. If these foodies understood how agencies actually work in practice or anything about public choice theory, instead of kindergarten marxism/trotskyism, we wouldn’t be suffering through this insanity. But then they’re all in thrall to genocidal nihillism anyways (tell me how many people you can feed locally in Toronto’s climate?).

If more grocery stores promoted local food more consistently and widely across the country, demand would go up and more people would put the effort into growing food. Plus, Ontario hothouses produce plenty of “summertime” crops throughout the winter other than just potatoes and root vegetables.

And really, a little seasonality wouldn’t hurt people every now and then either.
