    I mean on one hand yes, on the other hand, I don’t want to eat salted beef and dried pumpkins all winter like they did pre-refrigeration

      It doesn’t have to be that way, but intensive/non-local and non-seasonal agriculture requires ecological degradation that is largely ignored. Not to mention the horrid working conditions the people spraying agrochemicals on food have to endure.

      There’s plenty of seasonal vegetables in winter, and tons of recipes from cultures that experience harsh winters, too. bean don’t require refrigeration, be they canned or dried.
