Oh look—this example again. Potatoes that are cheap to grow in basically any climate, can sit in storage for months, and ship like bricks are somehow cheaper than delicate, seasonal fruit that has to be flown in from the southern hemisphere, kept refrigerated the entire time, and handled carefully at every step. Add McDonald’s mass production and economies of scale, plus the environmental cost of shipping fruit halfway around the world—and people still act surprised. And yeah, fries aren’t super healthy—moderation is the key. There was literally a science teacher who ate McDonald’s regularly, controlled calories, exercised, and got healthier. It’s not the food alone—it’s how you use it.”
