It can be argued that "food" is not a pure private good. Just ask my
morning-sick wife how she reacts when she sees anyone else eating.
Samuelson is wrong. You cannot objectively define anything as a pure
private good. That's why the property rights approach is the only
theoretical and practical one for resolving third-party effect issues.
