But, without capitalism no one would have a reason to grow the sweet corn
I can assure you that people ate food before capitalism.
There's a difference between eating food and eating what you want to eat. Capitalism drives innovation and gets people to grow more of what's wanted. Sweet corn for example was first discovered in Pennsylvania and when people found that it was tasty and profitable people began growing it more places and transporting it to sell. Guess what drove that.... capitalism
You and I will never ever agree on this. Have a good day!
