Is Shopping like some sort of Civilized, Sophisticated Modern Day Equivalent to the Hunting and Killing We did Way Back in Time, Like the 1960s?

Asked by Zendo (1752points) July 28th, 2009

Seriously. In olden days humans hunted and killed animals for their food, clothes, houses, and even medicines. We have become civilized, and killed off all the wild animals.
Is shopping at the store akin to hunting?
And what about eating out. Is that even more civilized and sophisticated than preparing your own food at home (which you hunted and snared at the grocery store)?
