Why can't good food be mass produced?!


Question: Why can't good food be mass produced?
There are plenty of foods I can name but I'll just mention 2. Cookies and bread... two very basic foods but for some reason no store however fruity has ever been able to make bread and cookies that taste anywhere near as good as homemade. I am not just talking about those made in my home when I was young but even a friends Mom can make them 10 times better than any store or company.

All food is processed in some way or another or it would still be running around or still in the garden.
All fresh fruits and veggies in a store are NOT processed in the way you mean except washed, graded and bagged.
Ditto with all fresh meats. Those contain nothing at all.
Pasta, rice, dried beans are all available at every grocery and also not overly processed in the way you mean.
What you will have to do is learn how to cook more than sticking a frozen dinner in the oven or microwave.
And moms bread is always better because she is only making a few loaves, not a couple of hundred or more.
That makes a huge difference.
Many home recipes cannot be increases successfully to reproduce the exact same results.



It can be, but the cost of it is prohibitive to the company making a profit. Without preservatives, the food would go bad too quickly. What you give up in taste, you get back in shelf life.



Preservatives and profits



One word, preservatives



There are companies building on this empire right now; it just takes a long time to get McDonald's sized
