Like come on, people are otraged about the most minor stuff, but somehoe can't be bothered to boycot or change the situation with convenience pricig, where same stuff you buy at a store is 10-20x the price per unit.

"Youre taking advantage of my tiredness, making me pay more of my hard-earned money for the privilege of being too tired to prepare my own food/drinks myself, essentially making me work more hours for having worked too many hours and being tired as a resilt of it. So: making me more tired for being tired already"

Most white bread sold in supermarkets is preservative full, even in Europe and Japan. It's required because the supply chain (from baking to on shelf) itself costs at least half a day or a full day depending on the setup.

A similar bread baked at home has a shelf life of 2-3 days before it is not fluffy soft anymore. This puts a big constraint as the feedback for the next batch is literally time critical. A longer shelf life enables bulk distribution per store which reduces logistics cost and improves per unit cost

    White bread, but most bread sold in stores here isn't white bread.

    Granted I don't really know if it's full of preservatives. It does often have added sugar which is already shit (and a kind of preservative i guess).
