It's only been a short number of years in history where humans expend only a limited amount of energy to get food. From antiquity until the last century, people hunted and/or farmed in order to eat. Now we spend virtually zero calories to consume mountains of food. Conversely, we spend enormous amounts of time and energy to engage in exercise for our health and fitness.
Exercising and working the Earth intermingle in perfect harmony. This spring I worked hard tilling the ground and setting the first seeds and plants. Now, the workload has lightened significantly. Each day I weed, trim, harvest and water. The current workload is not as labor or time intensive, but work nonetheless. Truthfully, it's a bunch of fun, which is evident when an hour passes so terribly quickly.
