Well, in this case those profits might be modeling a real world situation. If Del Monte was pushing canned Peaches more than people needed/wanted, then changing the farms from one crop to another isn’t necessarily a horrible thing.
Sadly I realised after moving to the UK that peaches aren’t really “in season” here, at any time of the year. Most grocery stores in my area don’t seem to carry them at all (even though we have things like strawberries or even watermelon all year round…), so I have to make do with the canned option.
Harvest it. Turn it into canned peaches. Finish the harvest. Export it to places where peaches aren’t that common. ???. Profit.
The cannery closed. That’s why this is happening.
Uh huh, and that had nothing to do with capitalism or profits, right?

🎵 Peaches come from a can
🎵 They were put there by a man

I like canned goods, because they last longer, and don’t go bad as quick. They are usually cheap, and affordable.
Do you know what’s worse? Destroying tons of peaches while millions go hungry simply because they couldn’t make the right amount of profit from it.
