What you are talking about is supply and demand, mixed with scientific and human process, with a lot of marketing , and economies of scale thrown in.
Now we're getting somewhere. I've been trying to get you see that there are other factors other than simply supply and demand that determine price.

You don't understand the basics of supply and demand. How can you go deeper when what you say about the basics is wrong? It's like discussing the finer point of driving with someone on the wrong side of the road.

Boy, you sure do post an awful lot in the Food Forum for somebody that ignores taste and to whom food is just 'caloric intake'.

Yeah, it's simply reporting what I'm making at the moment. Sometimes I ask for advice on how to get things to the right texture, since there is science involved with cooking. It follows a logical progression.

Thanks for interpreting your posts there since they didn't read that way to me.

The English drive on the wrong side of the road--from our point of view, but they still drive. You have to accept that people see things differently than you.

LOL, this is not an opinion. You don't get to rewrite supply and demand because you don't like them. In capitalism this is how is works.

If you want to talk about another economic system like marxism, fascism, or bartering (all a kin to driving other other side of the road) then do that. But this is capitalism, and how it works.

I guess since you don't like/or are ignorant of American measuring system you can change the length of a foot, because the UK uses the metric system?

No, I think we see the same thing from different angles.

No you just don't understand the concept or the math behind it.

Supply and demand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Read A little. You will see there is a big flaw in your understanding of the concept.

I've taken too many econ and fin classes not to know this like the back of my hand.
