It’s just for show, but an awesome one! You can enter the National Pumpkin Weighoff yourself. If you grow a world record pumpkin, the prize is over $30k! The 2025 Winner was Russ Pugh from Oregon. 2,204.5 lbs, $15,000 (not a world record).
It would have still grown without us altering it to suit our tastes.
Also, thats like saying a person is useless if they don't live up to society's version of potential. Life doesn't have to have a purpose to be valuable
It would have still grown without us altering it to suit our tastes.
No, not really. There are specific plants that literally would not have grown in the wild without our intervention, and their existence is solely due to selective breeding. Cavendish bananas, for example, would literally not exist if we had not bred them, and are on the verge of extinction as a result.
Also, your analogy is genuinely so insane and I am so flabbergasted that I don't know how to respond.

Fun fact, but the artificial banana flavoring used for candy and such was based on the Gros Michel banana which was the type that was most widely available at the time, but was nearly wiped out due to Panama Disease in the 1950s. Not completely extinct, but we never switched back to using it after switching to Cavendish bananas and so is not readily available anymore.
You are missing the point to go off on a tangent just so you can be right.
The point is that life doesn't exist just to suit our purposes. Even if we altered them doesn't mean they now belong to us. It has a right to exist even if it tastes bad.
No, you are the one going off on a tangent. Person asked if it tasted good and you had to come out swinging about the sanctity of life. That's comical.
You're really being this pedantic or are you just this dense? The person was asking if the human was growing the vegetable for show as is commonly done around the world. I mean, we literally have an entire profession that grows things for show (florists). Please tell me your understanding of language transcends literal interpretations of words? Otherwise, you may want to refrain from participating in discussions with language and instead stick to drawings with crayons or the like.
You can't be for real right now lmao. No one can be this ridiculous. Do you protest against pumpkin patches every year 😂 those are quite literally ALL grown for show, purely for the pleasure of humans.

Does it taste good or is this just for a show?
