    I mean, but suppose the baker bakes 200 loaves of bread. Everyone buys their one loaf, the the baker has too much bread, and really, no where to store it. So they lower the price to 0 - literally free bread.

    Well now, its free! So people come by and grab an extra loaf to make french toast the next morning. Or to feed to their cat to save money on cat food. And then someone realizes they can just put it in their composter to make free compost for their garden. With an infinite supply of free bread, soon people will figure out how to build their houses with it or turn it into vehicle fuel.
