Capitalism at work!
Obviously the government had already ensured the food security of all of those in need first
lmao
What the hell do we do with peaches we can't sell!? They're completely useless now!
Worse, they exist only to lower the value of other nearby peaches. To preserve other people's peaches, the excess peaches must be destroyed. Tangible food is obliterated for an ideology.
I'm not sure if the end goal is one supremely valuable peach or zero peaches, but I absolutely love where we're going with this.
Peach worshippers
These people constantly scream about the Free Market, and then they go and manipulate it like this.
Genuinely what do you do with peaches you can't sell?
I'll take them. I love peaches.
Not these you don't. They taste like nothing and have shit texture.
So why are they grown?

So Del Monte could go bankrupt.
Because they ship well and don't produce as much ethylene that causes ripening. Like tomatoes and every other fruit they were chosen for looks and not spoiling, rather than taste.
You'd be surprised the peaches I'm willing to eat!
