    ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Ben Fogle

    This is absolutely terrible. Those apples, which would literally destroy value by being harvested and make people poorer, are going to fall to the ground, rot, and add nutrients to the soil. DAMN YOU, CAPITALISM, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN'T RUIN?!?https://twitter.com/Benfogle/status/1199980207614152705 …

    These apples have been left to rot because they are too BIG for supermarkets and the profit margins are too small. It’s cheaper to leave them than to pay pickers to collect them. And this my friends is just one of the reasons why humanity is in crisis. pic.twitter.com/s2ZGFFcPP3

        Tweets like this consistently challenge me to really think hard about the absurd emotional appeals people make. I appreciate being encouraged to think clearly

        It's nonsense on stilts from start to finish. Too big? Unless this Ben Fogle is a giant with humongous mitts, those were fairly typical apples by the measure of any store around here. Why do I suspect the orchard owner is being paid by the USDA not to harvest?

        I actually have a strong aversive reaction to minor waste like this, and if I were in control I'd probably have them picked and made into cider or something even at a loss but at least I'm not trying to impose my individual neurosis on the rest of the economy

        Huh, where I live, there are volunteer groups that will come, pick them and donate them.

        No, we're in trouble because people fall for absolute bollocks like this instead of thinking clearly for themselves. I'm sure malnourishment in, say, Yemen will be cured immediately by a massive shipment of <checks notes> apples.
