You have no idea what's happening in the USA do you lol. I can't speak to the fruit business, but let me assure you: people are starving, the cost of living crisis is a political weapon, SNAP is unfunded, and this nutrition is, as in Grapes of Wrath times, succumbing to the market, not to the lack of need. People are hungry, there's just no $$$ in feeding them. Shame. | ||

No one in the US is starving outside of illness or drug abuse. 75% of the population is overweight, and the rate is even higher among poor people. We've had to invent new words like "food insecure" because actual starvation is a solved problem. | ||
