[quote=Anonymous]There used to be more fresh cooked options in the US.  Even in big grocery stores, the baked good used to be baked on site by actual bakers.  Now it is made in big production facilities, shopped to the stores and then just reheated or finished at the store.  It’s cheaper that way and people like cheap.  It’s the same reason that most mom and pop places aren’t around (except in big cities where people like to spend money on artisanal stuff, etc. because it’s trendy).  Main streets were hollowed out because people drove to Walmart to get cheap stuff.  Small coffe shops that made stuff on site driven out of business by Starbucks, etc.  America is phenomenal at creating large efficiencies in production and distribution—it’s sort of our thing.  So we do it with food and people flock to the cheaper options.  
I do hope the millennials can actually bring back a value system in which people think some things are worth spending more money on....or maybe once they have kids and buy a house, they will also want the cheap crap too.[/quote]
