Politicians love to talk about "democracy", but the only votes counted are those at the purchase points, and the mean Mean of capitalism does everything it can to ensure those votes are disinformed and delusioned.
We have bought the predicament we are in because "always low (food) prices" are 'progressive'.
Cheap food has never helped anyone but the sellers of everything that's not food (including food processing, farm machinery, advertising, roads, cities, wars, circuses and churches).
Humans have literally eaten our planet to death and reproduced like mindless bacteria under the imagined auspices of The Invisible Hand Job(fanatical competition over competing fanaticisms).
Sometimes things are so bad, you can only laugh. The sooner one can see it, the more laughs they can have.
