At least they can save money on getting drinks on the side since their food is their drink.

Pegasi live on clouds. I doubt you can grow food on that, and unicorns seem to make up the upper class, at least in the olden times, so were never expected to grow their own food. They probably can grow there own though, they just don't have the innate magic to do it. (A unicorn may be able to learn a spell that does a similar job though)

I guess Unicorns don't grow food more for cultural reasons then, since why learn the magic when there is an entire species happily willing to grow food for you? Outside of a hobby, anyway.

Hey, don't insult all unicorns. It's only the snobs on the top that should be mocked.

[up]True. It probably didn't get much worse in old pony society then to be a unicorn serf.

Poor, set upon Clover the Clever (Not really a serf, but...).

Yeah seemed clear the issues were more about the ruling classes of each of the tribes then the tribes as a whole

wild mass guess The Crystal Empire is made up of the descendants of ponies who stayed behind when the three tribes went off and founded Equestria wild mass guess

@Sky: And pony politics, especially how the ruling classes perpetuate divisions between nations and subjugate the serfs. Or something.

[up]Good idea. Not sure where the crystal thing comes from.

I am wondering now, is there Unicorn farmers? Pegasi too, for that matter, Even if they farm without magic, I presume they can still grow crops normally. I guess they can grow crops for a hobby, but will they do it for a job, or do Earth Ponies have a monopoly?

I assumed due to the nature of their profession, cloud pushing is essentially farming clouds to them.

@ed It's been a while since I last saw it.

@Cookoo I'd assume earth ponies are the best farmers, but unicorns probably aren't too bad. They could build combine harvesters or other farm machines with magic. Pegasi probably don't farm themselves, but they might do crop dusting or irrigation.

[up][up][up][up][up]I like to think that with the need for food being taken over by the earth ponies, any sort of agricultural projects the others had feel by the way side, since it was more practical and cheaper to trade for their food then grow it. That combined with racism probably lead to a stigma against "dirt pony" activities in both of the other tribes.

I always thought it was mostly a hobby for pegasi or unicorns to do farming. Like with Fluttershy.

Mildly creepy.

Guile does it right.
