It is very therapeutic to garden, though.

That only really applies if your time is free, OR you're actually enjoying it.
Your time is not free. In fact it's incredibly valuable. So why are you giving it away to corporations for pennies on the dollar? You could be getting 100% of the value of your time when you garden.
On the one hand that's true. On the other hand, I'm self employed and I loathe gardening.
It's the same argument you made earlier:
and here:
By using your own efforts you retain more of the value for yourself. When you work for others you get paid only a fraction of the value you produce. Ie, your time is more valuable than you are getting paid for.
I'm sorry you weren't able to understand that simple point. But have a nice day!
You are apparently here to not read. I was literally agreeing with you.
Bye now.
May I ask a favor? Make a distinction between small-scale direct-to-consumer farmers (ie the kind that sell at farmer's markets) and large-scale commodity farmers and the huge agricorps that own them.
Because (a) you say it in a way that comes across as derogatory. Unless you grow 100% of your food you need a farmer in there somewhere to live; (b) because the closer you get to the farmer (ie buy from small-scale farms) the more value you retain.
