Why do manufacturers give us the junky foods that we get?

A little common sense which is the most uncommon thing of all.

It’s easy to blame someone else for the poor food supply from the giant companies who now supply most of the world’s food. I sure don’t condone the efforts of the giant profit machines in the least, but the bottom line is; business is in the business of supplying what the consumer wants and making a profit. If the consumer stops buying … the manufacturing stops. It’s as simple as that. How many businesses are in business to ‘loose’ money? I haven’t heard of one and even if it existed, I’m sure you would agree, it wouldn’t continue for long.
How many black and white tv’s do you think are manufactured this year? It might and probably is a big fat “Zero”. Or what about 286Mhz computers? Nobody wants these ‘dinosaurs’ anymore. Technology has given us better products and more choices. Consumers always want more, better, faster, sexier and the manufacturer endeavors to fill that demand.
A lot is said about how manufacturers give us the cheapest least expensive products they can produce. And in most cases this is true. But guess what? The consumer wants cheap inexpensive products. If people only bought Rolls Royces … that’s all we would have in a few short years. No more Toyotas, no more Hondas, no more Fords, no more Chevy’s. They would all be gone to the every expanding junk pile of history.
Consumers have to take some responsibility for this; not just play the ‘blame game’ like a victim and shove all the blame to the manufacture. Yes, the manufacture can put additives in the food products that make us want to eat more. But in the end it is up to us to become our own “health expert”. The internet has allowed us to do this to a certain extent. The info is there right on the net. All we have to do is research it and put our results to work. But it has to be a higher priority. It’s not that we don’t have the time. We always have the time to do the things we find important enough.
Whatever people crave and demand, no matter what the reason … we get it anywhere, anyway we want it. People vote with their dollars every time they spend.
If you want good health for you and your family; vote with your dollar today; choose a ‘healthier product’ from the shelf the next time you shop. No more victims. Empower yourself today.
Best of luck to you who want to improve your quality of life by choosing healthier products.
