Tomatoes wouldn't exist without your efforts?
Look at you computer. How many people alive and dead did it take to make it? Did the oilmen who pumped the hydrocarbons that become the plastic of the keys own your computer? Do the early theorists of computation own your processor/own your computer? Did that guy that killed himself at Dell/Apple/Lonovo that worked on the design of specifically your machine own it?
Be careful with what you consider ownership.
