Well said! There is excellent food to be found, including bread, etc.
for those who can afford it, time- or money-wise.

Mass production of food has kept the price down to a level where more
people can afford it. Say what one will about fluffy enriched white
bread, but then look at the prices for the boutique stuff in the same
grocery store. I'm sure a lot of poor and middle-class people would
love to eat like kings but can't.
