It baffles me if anyone is shocked by this. 
 
What won’t baffle me is the continued consumption of this crap. 

Most of us don’t care. It really comes down to that. 

The general disregard is not just for food. It’s our consumption standard in general. We always settle for a sub-par finish on and in furniture, cars, homes, bikes, airports (most), water, public infrastructure, governance. Maybe the only thing we collectively give a shit about is cricket, gold (jewellery), weddings, booze and ostentatious clothing. And losing our marbles over anyone who calls themselves an entrepreneur and says vacuous things. 

I earlier thought it was just health and strength that we did not care about. But I think the disregard is widespread.

Our values can be summed up thusly: 

What does not kill us immediately and is priced cheaply enough is automatically fit for copious consumption with no regard for consequences.
