> I like apples and I like being able to buy them any day of year, even out of season. The only reason I can do so is because there is an entire industry of people who manage the inventory, distribution, try to predict supply and demand, and take on a risk doing that.

In practice, if the availability of the apples you're eating is dependent on finance people, they're commodity grade, not specialty varieties.

I don't eat apples, but I'd rather have a good heirloom tomato from the farmer's market than the commodity grade stuff that's at the grocery store.

How do you get to the farmers market? Walk? If not then how was your vehicle produced and powered and how were its components got to you?
