Answer: The cost of food has risen recently. As a result, using food for sexual pleasure is a more expensive proposition when it can instead be used for sustenance. OP makes a reference to this when he mentions the current state of the economy.

Of course pineapples may be much more affordable in your region, or you may be financially well off, so you may not have noticed the concern shared by others. If this is the case please see if you can donate your pineapples to local food pantries or sex clubs. If that's not feasible, and you aren't a big fan of eating pineapple, you don't have to feel bad about fucking it, as it would otherwise go to waste.

I hope that helps.
