And what people don't realize is that an apple that you get at the grocery store has probably been, it was probably three weeks from being picked because they picked it and then they sprayed it with something in the truck that makes it ripen while it's on its trip to you.

And then finally, by the time you get it at the grocery store, it was picked like three weeks ago and it was ripened in the back of a truck, not on a tree. And we're doing this largely across all of our food systems. So what we need to do is we need to incentivize farmers to go back to regenerative farming. We need more local farms where we can get local produce from our communities.
