Oh yeah, absolutely, all of that, especially creature comforts like variety. You farm all day, every day, because if you don't you starve. And that's why potatoes... because they're the lowest effort, and most reliable, and you can store them for awhile without refrigeration, and if you're managing to produce other stuff you either eat it before it spoils, or you're selling it to make a little money so you can get your farm tools fixed, and you're just surviving on the potatoes (with some salt, if you can afford it).
I think a lot of people don't realize what a luxury refrigeration is. Being able to walk into a grocery store to get fresh fruits and vegetables in mid-winter requires a crazy amount of infrastructure.
