@gcrkrause Well, because food costs money, because making it costs effort and money and I can't demand someone to git it to me for free so I can just be lazy all the time.

If I decided to grow my own food instead I wouldn't have time to do other things. So I prefer to pay for the food and do other things that give me money so I can buy food.

I'd be a bad food-grower, but I can provide value to people in different ways - money lets me exchange that value for whatever I want or need.
