As aristotle said, the people will have their luxuries
in other words there is no limit to human acquisitiveness especially of novelty, becasue novelty in consumption is a cheaper reward than novelty in production.
(Actually, he said ‘meats’ because they hardly had any, but the point he was making is the same. And I hope it was Aristotle. Might have been someone else. lol)
There is no surplus. Because surplus must include the cost of distribution. Besides we don’t have a food shortage we have an obesity problem. And the government’s dietary suggestions have been wrong all along. And if we ate like we should it require far more meat (I have to eat mostly meat myself) and would not include any grains, and far less fruit and sugar.
