Steven Pinker's books are like "people say that life is unjust and intolerable under neoliberal capitalism. But in fact, mean global consumption of fruit-by-the-foot is up 300x when compared to our 19th century counterparts"

But fruit by the foot didn't exist in the 1800s?

Steven Pinker: Not as we currently think of it, no. But if you consider fruit that had dropped from trees and was literally by people's feet, the picture starts to become much clearer
