Answer by Honest Butprivate
Prior to food PRODUCTION the earth produced and provided the food for humans every bit as much as for other animal species and we gathered it…or hunted it…but we did not produce it. The earth was our Great Mother, a womb teaming with life…and we cooperated in hunting and/or gathering her bounty…and it created fairly little social division as there was a lot of symbiosis and co-operation in gathering nature’s bounty;whereas, food production meant enslaving animals, trapping them their entire lives in a hopeless situation that is going to end in slaughter…and planting and harvesting grain which, requires that, rich tyrants own and rule over the rest of humans as their slaves…and our jobs, although no longer mostly agricultural, are the heritage of this change.

Wow! The creation of farming instead of foraging has changed our planet and the many cultures on this planet in many ways.

1) Reducing the soil quality. Crops take tons of resources from the soil.
2) Forming of clans, towns, cities. Since Nomadic life was no longer needed people settled in permanent areas, which also created problems for garbage and sewage.
3) Disease spreading. People now living in closer contact with each other spread diseases more easily.
4) More free time. Farming is much easier than have to go out an find food, so people had more time for leisure activities – creation of alcohol and reduced exercise (WE ALL SEE HOW THAT HAS CHANGED OUR LIVES).
5) Overpopulation – Farming has led to people being able to have more children and then producing more food. We have created a huge problem for our planet as it is now becoming unable to truly sustain out population.

And trust me this is just the beginning. I truly believe that we would be better off if we could go back the the Paleolithic days!
