Is "Eating an agricultural act?"

Daisy:

I really do believe that eating is an agricultural act. When you begin to consciously choose to eat products that come from local farms, or are organic, you have committed an agricultural act. Most people nowadays just simply purchase the items that they can get at their local grocery store. The thought that usually crosses their minds when they pick up that piece of steak is, "How much will this cost me?" "Do I really want steak for dinner tonight?" They don't ask the REAL questions, such as, "Is this piece of steak disease-free?" "How much process corn has the cow eaten?" "Has that affected its nutritional value?" By asking these questions, you will begin to think deeper about food, thus committing an agricultural act.
