Actually, I have lived in two distinctly different cultures in the same region. When I was on the island of Gozo, I saw fruit trees around public buildings and the fruit was often left to fall and rot. The boys in secondary school made good use of the oranges, but they used them as weapons rather than food. I haven't seen this in Tunisia. Mulberries were abundant a few months ago and various people, young and old were gathering them to use for themselves and also to sell. It's not unusual to see an individual selling food on the sidewalk in an <i>ad hoc</i> fashion near the established street vendors. I live in a similar climate, but a totally different culture.

They ended up with a ton of fresh ripe fruit, free of charge, all in one area! I am very jealous! Not nearly the selection of people growing fruit in Cleveland, even if we did have a similar law...
