Hollywood actor Adrian Grenier, best known for his role in HBO’s Entourage (2004–2011), defended the complexities of modern farming, especially in the face of ‘woke liberal college kids’ who lecture farmers without any actual clue of what they face.
Grenier joined “The Dan Buettner Podcast,” sharing his passion for working the earth and sustainability. But he noted people should show some respect to farmers and understand the realities they are facing before lecturing them on what they should, and shouldn’t, be doing.
“When I was doing ‘sustainability’ stuff, and you know, you mentioned I’m known for sustainability. I admittedly was doing a lot of PR for sustainability. But I wasn’t living the lifestyle really.”
“I was in Brooklyn, I had a little garden. It was basically a planter. And it had some food growing in it. It’s tiny. And I had it so that I could show people that it’s possible to have a New York City apartment and be connected to the earth.”
“Except I never planted or harvested or worked that soil once. I spent way too much money to have someone else do it so that I would have it. So it was an extension of my vanity.”
“It was basically a trophy piece for ‘sustainability,’ but I felt like it was my duty to represent the lifestyle.”
“It was like virtue signalling to the highest extent.”
Grenier left Hollywood in 2016, although he has since returned for some projects and learned more about what real farming entails.
“Frankly, these woke liberal college kids who come in with all these big ideas trying to tell farmers that they got to do one thing because it’s bad for the environment.”
“Well, you know, put your money where your mouth is and go out and try and solve for farming practices instead of telling the farmers who are in the trenches trying to make food that you don’t even want to pay whatever for organic cause it’s too expensive.”
