Yep, it’s other people who did the work and the waiting to produce the food sold in grocery stores.
But when I was young, fresh food sold in grocery stores was almost exclusively what was in season, locally. No fresh tomatoes in the middle of winter or early spring, but only canned ones. It wasn’t feasible to transport most fruits and vegetables across the country before the Interstate highway system and huge refrigerated trucks, much less to fly them from the opposite hemisphere before commercial jet planes.
Long-distance transport in trucks and jet planes? What does your environmental club have to say about that, kids?

Grocery stores. Good, good. Now, let’s see if you can understand something more cerebral, like, y’know, a concept. Like, f’r instance, work.
