"Now that they’ve cheapened the ingredients as much as they possibly can, the only trick left up their sleeves to keep profits growing is to give us less of the low quality crap than they did before. In the case of junk food they might actually be doing us a favor by giving us less."

I can't tell you how many times I've had the above mental conversation running through my mind. I find myself thinking "do they really think we won't notice?" I notice, but I'm an old girl and know how much better quality and quantity these things used to be too. My mother was an avid cook, but we still had some Chefboyrdee things and we loved it.

The food companies have no care to what they are putting out as long as somebody buys it. In cheapening everything, they have added so much more sugar and salt to everything to help it still have a flavor that will be acceptable to many. As the food quality declines, so does the general health of the masses. Kinda sad.
