Last time I checked, food and household merchandise have the necessary
attributes that allows a free market to give economically correct
resource allocation, and so have not had to rely on an artificial
infusion of those attributes combined with a societal agreement that we
will pretend that these attributes are real, and so with food and
household goods you do not have the case that you have something with a
marginal cost of zero relying almost completely on people being nice for
it to work.
