> it's just that I fear a lot of americans really don't know what food is supposed to taste like anymore

How can the Matrix know how Tastee Wheat really tastes? /s

That's the problem with our capitalism focused approach to food: fill it with sugar and kids will eat it, and still eat it when they're grown up and weigh >100kg and suffer from diabetes. Also, you can hide a lot of sub-par ingredients (like old meat or meat of e.g. horses) with the right amount of seasoning.

Big Food gets the profit and society gets the bill for diabetes treatment. Privatize profit, socialize risks.



Why exactly is horse meat sub-par? From what I've heard it's actually better than cow meat, but harder to market.


It's other meat than was written on the packaging, I didn't mean the meat quality itself.
