stares angrily in fresh produce
You do realize not everyone lives near local farms or has time in their day to go to them, right? You do realize fruits and veggies aren't only healthy, but delicious? You do realize that poorer people don't have much choice thanks to food deserts?
Capitalism destroys choices for the vast majority of people at its current stage. The free market destroys competition, the best thing capitalism supposedly had going for it. This destruction is by design. Monopoly was always the end game.
Exactly this. I luckily live in California, where much of the produce is locally grown and easily accessible even in many rural places. When I've traveled to other states, it's hit or miss on whether you can find fresh produce that isn't fucked up in some way if any at all. Some places might not have anything but a Dollar Tree or similar within a 50+ mile radius.
