Economies of Scale are a hell of a thing.

Honestly it's a miracle [of capitalism] that by going to mass quantities they are able to provide quality food that is cheap, easy to eat, and non-perishable. While at the same time employing a huge number of people. Everyone from the farmers, packers, distributors, merchants, and advertisers - to scratch the surface.

Your friend with a tree can (seasonally) enjoy lots of peaches, but is that all she needs (or wants)?

It proves how efficient the process truly is, despite the distances involved.

I think this is silly. There is obviously a lot of waste occuring when one looks at land usage, material usage, and use of labor. There's a massive wealth inequality which only makes sense in a capital-focused society.
