Exactly. Just because people have come to expect things doesn’t mean its a disaster when it doesn’t show up.

My great grandmother told me that she tasted her first fresh orange when she was in her 20s. Before that, most of what they ate was grown right here in Michigan. (which is a surprisingly wide variety of fruits and veggies)

When I was a kid in New Orleans my dad drove across the bridge over the river every morning and would call my mom whenever he saw the Chiquita Banana boat docked at the wharf at the beginning of the season.

They’d be priced at 9 cents a pound in the grocery stores the next day.
