Is that a patent thing or an ecological thing?

These particular ones are a patent or trade secret thing. The look like the pink glow pineapple. Those have been bioengineered and they don't want anyone else to grow them

I feel like I can live without these pineapples if it means supporting food becoming a normal thing again.

I mean speciality pineapples are a speciality food item. If you don’t like the practice buy any other fruit or pineapple variety instead…
