 Yes know your farmer. 

#Bitcoin definitely fixes food. Governments subsidize mono-cropped foods and force the use of chemicals like glyphosphates. 

Without the government the amount of garbage in the stores would be economically unfeasible and unprofitable. 

There are farmers directly financially incentivized and coerced even forced through regulation to grow certain foods the government deems necessary.  And certain foods like raw milk and even having your own chickens for eggs is illegal.

Not only is bitcoin unstoppable peer to peer money and free markets, it directly defunds authoritarianism and the ability to subsidize or otherwise coerce/force market activity. Don't trust me, study #bitcoin. Some good starting points:

Happy to give resources and informational videos directly from farmers dealing with this. Zach Bush, the guy in this clip has good information on this too.
