Who's gonna pick the strawberries?

The same thing that picks the wheat and corn.
MACHINES.

Great the seed companies can develop strawberries as tough as corn or wheat, no trouble, but how are you gonna get people to eat them?

Before machines picked the corn and wheat people said the same thing. When the slaves were freed people said who's going to pick the cotton. Well, guess what? We have no slaves AND we have cheap cotton.

Necessity is the mother of invention. If you can figure out how to put music on a CD you can damn well figure out how to pick strawberries with a machine.

And don't run the 'cheap lettuce' argument here.....after you add in the schooling, medicating, and incarcerating of the illegals that head of lettuce costs a fortune.
