Even generating a first-pass of the eventual production code that you can step back and review is useful to get ideas, so long as you guard yourself against laziness of going with the first answer it provides

The government would step in and take over operations. This is why we don't need profit-driven companies responsible for food supply. By all means let Del Monte's managers try their hand in some other industry if they couldn'
