This has nothing to do with traders. If you want to talk about/whine about traders, go find/make a trader thread.
This is about how the food system is strangling the life out of people. The need for constant attention, constant micromanagement, and being tethered to marketplaces with a very short leash. About opening the marketplace and seeing a wall of "buy 10/sell 50" orders. (If there are even any sell orders all, and those are probably locked to the realm anyway.) About how your realm can't march to war without starving half your regions, unless you leave half your nobles home to shepherd buy/sell orders.
There is nothing that you can do with traders to fix the system. The only thing that can fix the system is the implementation of automation for both selling *and* buying.
