Heh you are actually touching onto something quite interesting and fundamental.
Things that have value are often valuable exactly because they are not abundant but scarce. The scarcer the more valuable.
Post-scarcity is about creating enough fundamentals (ex. food) to everyone, but it's not about removing the value of scarcity for some food that might be extra hard to produce.
Many things only works if they are scarce that does not mean we shouldn't try to achieve post scarcity.
