Why would I make that distinction when the point of it is that I'm saving money for myself with my own efforts? It's specifically to exclude external economics.

Because (a) you say it in a way that comes across as derogatory. Unless you grow 100% of your food you need a farmer in there somewhere to live; (b) because the closer you get to the farmer (ie buy from small-scale farms) the more value you retain.
