Canada isn’t necessarily great either, and European grocery stores are full of “foods” containing the same cursed ingredients. There’s a big difference in volume of crap though, and alternatives are much more accessible than they are in the US.

You need to be careful with this. Depending on your location, there might be laws imposing that you use the land, otherwise you might lose it. I don’t know the exact conditions, and I suppose they vary.

Also, 10000 USD doesn’t buy you a lot of land, depending on location.
