Great point! How to help people believe that it is possible, and worth the effort, to grow food…but also not discourage them or give false promises in the process. I post a lot of garden and local food related pictures and videos in the hopes of normalizing the idea of producing, cooking, and preserving your own food. (My circle is small, but I tell myself that every bit helps) I get so many comments like “so beautiful, but I couldn’t do it”, quite discouraging.

I believe the term you're looking for is "Curse of Knowledge". It's a logical fallacy, where someone assumes that the person they're communicating with has all the knowledge and information that they do.
