RE: Utopia of a simple world.

Are you referring to the contradictions in lard farming or beekeeping? There are so many of them in everything, and even a series of posts won't cover them all. For example, in lard farming, logic dictates that watering should benefit tomatoes, but if you start watering them, you're forcing them to be watered, while without it, they can still produce a good harvest. And in beekeeping... modern and progressive hive systems, such as the Udav or Dadant systems, aren't always better at swarming and colony formation than the outdated horizontal hive. The presence of nearby honey plants isn't always beneficial if the farmer who raised them uses harsh chemicals to protect the fields from pests... there's so much more to it :)
