Your'e falsley equating food production with work.  You can produce things
without doing work.  I do it all the time.  And it should be noted, not all
Anarchists are anti-work.  Anarchism isn't a dogma.  You shouldn't assume
that because one anarchist believes something all anarchists believe it;
wer'e very diverse in our beliefs.
