Pineapple fun fact: Before selling them for consumption, pineapple merchants rented pineapples to people who couldn’t afford to purchase them. Those who rented would take the pineapple to parties, not to give as a gift to the host, but to carry around and show off their apparent ability to afford such an expensive fruit.
A pineapple could cost up to 8000$ in the 1700-1800.

I’d rather compost and eat pineapple, to be honest.
Compost the rich for growing the pineapple!
Luxury fruit has always been a thing. Like, for as long as humans have had trade.
I like that the section on apples talks like its a new thing and not the status quo basically since we first learned to graft apple trees.
