Food abundance came as a result of the industrial revolution, which started waaay before our parents were born.
Supermarkets haven’t been around that long. The wide variety we satisfy our picky apppetites with is miraculous!
You think supermarkets were invented by boomers?
You admit, then, that food prices are made up to gouge us and have nothing to do with actual scarcity?
All product pricing is a complicated result of the economy. Thankfully scarcity is not a significant factor.
If scarcity is not the only factor, the prices are made up and we are being stolen from.
Prior to 1960 the concept was uncommon.
