The illegals will pluck all the fruit and stand at the highway offramps selling small bags of fruit.
Just like they did in Greece with the olives
Poison.
In cities, fecal matter and blood contamination. Rodent infestation.
They would be destroyed before the first fruit ripened.
The reason this is not the case is because:
Reread that same statement about 5 times in every context that you can think of.
For example, replace fruit with drugs and pests with homeless, and you have a picture of San Francisco.
There's no such thing as a free lunch. If food was as available as being on every street corner, everyone would stop working... except the one growing the food.
Does it make that one person a benevolent king? Or a foolish slave?

26 Jesus answered them, and said, Verily, verily I say unto you, Ye seek me not, because ye saw the miracles, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were filled.
27 Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for the meat that endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
Not until we all see as God does will we be able to actualize food on every corner.
As long as one person plays the part of a pest, all the fruit is fated to rot on the vine. Seek not the loaves, but the one who kneads. Treat the servant to all as your King, and do as the King has done, by being a servant to all.
That is the Kingdom of Heaven. We have not arrived there, because there are still those who treat their fellow Man not as the rightful sovereigns they are but as slaves; as servants to those hypocrites who cannot see that any pursuit in helping others will also result in helping yourself.
Yes! This exactly. We won’t be able to get there until people begin thinking and vibrating in 5D and understanding Christ Consciousness. You are exactly right, this is the kingdom of Heaven. Very wise words, thank you.
I suspect the "money changers" will claim this idea is antisemitic.
Sadly, joggers would likely rape and burn those plants.
Why would they do that?
Because joggers.
The chances that it would work, and look, anything like this, as opposed to almost instantly becoming barren, needle-filled patches of hell, are exactly 0%.
The person who made this meme doesn't live in an American city.
If this was attempted, those trees would be ravaged and trampled.
Great idea. Wouldn’t work up north,obviously.
My first thought (because I'm horrible): And we can bring back the stocks and throw all the rotten fruit at our least favorite politicians! Win-win! XD
Added bonus :)
I have tried this, hell Golden, CO just tried this.
Homeless make camps under it and chase away others if it bears fruit.
We have conditioned some shitty people into entitlement.
bears fruit, not "bares" fruit. Did you not know the homonyms?? Like their, there and they're. But NOT loose and lose. Totally different words.
Used talk to text, that was oversight since I didn't see anything wrong with it at a glance, my bad.
California has countless date palms, they could be properly trimmed and pollinated, they would bear fruit..
Until the hooligans come around and ruin it for everybody.
You can throw produce seeds alongside the roads in quieter areas and country sides. You could also do this as a symbol of non-compliance, or as 'tagging' an area as an 'Awake' area, or just to feed those in need, or all the above.
To repress or censor this symbol of resistance, the powers that be can either ignore it, which means you win, or they can destroy it, which means they awaken The People to their true intentions, which unites them, which means you win, or they can out perform you by planting their own free crops for the people, which means they are now acting on behalf of The People again, which means you win.
So throw some seeds alongside roads whenever and wherever you can. Grow your presence, show your presence. Flower seeds work too, and are beautiful.
If you see a bunch of veggies or flowers growing in the middle of a roundabout that shouldn't be there, it was probably an ally.
Why support them that will not work for themselves? Quit feeding the homeless and they will leave.
Beautiful picture should be reality everywhere. Great idea
Yeah!
Because we really need our city sidewalks slathered with the runny shit from homeless peeps eating too much juicy fruit.
I once grew a patch of about 6-8 cherry tomato plants along a downtown sidewalk where homeless would travel. The plants grew amazingly well, 12-15' vines, and produced hundreds of tomato's throughout the summer.
I had all I could eat, and I'm sure some bums picked them too. Occasionally I even had bums ask me if they could pick some, and I always told them yes, just don't pick too many, and leave some for me, and they were always thankful, and always left an ample supply behind.
Moral of the story- If you can afford to plant some easy to grow food, there is nothing wrong with helping to feed your fellow Americans. Nobody should ever starve in this country.
Regardless if all the "negative" posts here, it is a lovely idea.
Thank you. I almost took it down because of all the negs.
Oak trees. Acorns are edible, but require considerable work.
Maybe this is my cynical side talking, but in a capitalist economy like the US someone would come along, take all the fruit, and sell it at a local fruit stand for profit. Unfortunately, something like this could only function in a more homogeneous egalitarian society such as Norway...
(side note - I've spent time in Norway, and that country functions 1000% better than the US in every way. People are happier, quality of life is better, people live more simply, water/food is cleaner, outdoors culture, people respect their neighbors and family.. all in all, everything is better. My husband's family lives in the countryside there and we hope to be able to move there someday)
Someone has never been around fruit trees... It'd be a helluva stinky mess!
Not true!
some shithead would poison the fruit. And by shithead I mean govt agent.
And, knowing humanity, we'd need to add more trash cans near the trees.
Um....what do the homeless eat when there is a foot of snow? j/k
