I’m talking about the over ordering and generally crappy quality of products in the name of cutting costs. If you have to order dough a week ahead of time it tends to go bad. If you’re making it fresh every day then it’s never more than a day and a half old.
Actually what I’m advocating is small businesses and sustainable food consumption. Generally speaking the larger a company becomes, the worse the product is and the more environmental damage it does. I’ve worked at both chains and independent restaurants and the difference in food waste is truly shocking.
Of course they are, but in the capitalist paradigm success is synonymous with profit. So giant multinational companies making shitty cheap products is the goal of capitalism, because it allows for the greatest profit. In other words Macdonald’s is better closer to the perfect expression of capitalist ideals than the artisanal gastro-pub with the coffee and cocoa encrusted reindeer sliders because they are more profitable, despite the fact they sell industrial food adjacent waste as food.
As a side note, do try coffee and cocoa encrusted reindeer sliders. You’ll have to make them yourself because as far as I’m aware they aren’t actually a menu item anywhere.
how is making a mistake while trying to adhere to food safety standards a failure of capitalism?

how are independent restaurants not part of capitalism?
