      Not as part of a normal life. Or at least, I don’t see many people carrying baskets of freshly picked apples around.

      Your point is true, though, even if a bit impractical for most.

        When we culturally embrace that food is a market item, not a right, then we systemically avoid maintaining or enabling sources of food that violate market principles: say, for example, keeping fruit trees in public parks, and making excess farm production available to the public
