@the goq- It would be one thing if I was a hick from the boonies, but I am from one of the largest cities in the US and I’ve been asked from NYers if there were a lot of farms in my town!
To be fair to the New Yorkers, NYC’s population is more than double the second largest city in the U.S. (Los Angeles), and the NY metro area exceeds the population of the 2nd largest metro area (LA again) by a whopping 6,000,000+ people. To put that into perspective, the #4 metro area (Dallas/Ft. Worth) doesn’t even have a population of six million.
Note that I am not condoning anyone having a complete ignorance of what life is like outside of their city. That said, if I were in your shoes, I probably would have mentioned how hard it is to get up before dawn to milk the cows before Shacharis. And how challenging it is to move your herds to their pastures via the subway.
