Without the frequent interaction with nature provided by rural and agricultural life, man relinquishes his understanding of the natural world. He becomes coddled and sheltered by an artificial urban existence that systematizes life and reduces the world to abstract concepts; birth becomes choice, a secondary function of the sexual faculty, relationships become transactional, and food is divorced from its source until meat stands entirely free from its true cost. In this urban domain, the instinct atrophies, and man, being of two natures—rational and instinctual—forsakes one at the cost of the other.
Our future lies in the meadows, prairies, swamps, woodlands, farmers fields and in nature’s abundance blessed unto us by God.
