This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Today, the Mexican Government introduced its new chocolate bar, priced at less than $1USD. Made of 50% cocoa, powdered milk, vanilla. No refined sugar, no artificial flavourings. (files.catbox.moe)

However, in reality if the governance sets the standard, they can have almost always the cheapest prices. Wide reach, built transportation systems and probably incentivized contracts.

Yes, and yes, but why are either of these a bad thing? Cheap, good quality food seems like a good thing to me.

Essentially everything that fucked up India with the British during ww2.

If the British provided cheap food, they could actually have avoided the Bengal famine. (Unless you mean some other fuckup I'm not aware of.)
