    Just think about the fact that 100 years ago everyone in the world could not get get out of season fruits and vegetables unless you grew them yourself and probably needed a greenhouse.

    No tomatoes, no strawberries, no blueberries.

    It’s why preserves and fermenting were such a huge thing. Through our history humans have invented tons of methods to keep food edible during times of less abundance.

    Now there’s a world wide logistics network just so someone can have a fresh tomato in their salad in January.
