Man, you don't get off that easy in modern first world farming, much less pre-modern subsistence farming.

People don't live in houses made out of literal shit because they're too busy inventing the jig three days of the week; nor do they starve and freeze for lack of material goods because they're just too lazy to go out and forage in their abundant spare time; nor do they cultivate extensive ectoparasite infestations because that's the latest fashion. Subsistence farmers don't work 'round the clock only because there is no fucking clock; people work from sunup to sundown, and often longer.
