I mean … yeah. If it’s a thing you must have, then it should not be for profit. Staple foods definitely qualify.
To be perfectly clear, when I say “not for profit” I mean that the costs of plant and equipment, administration, materials, logistics, labor, etc. are all paid for out of revenue - and a small fixed percentage to go into a fund to ward against variations in revenue, so that the business and its employees can continue to provide the public good and earn a living even in lean times.
Honestly I think we should have at least some FOODS that are not for profit. If I need it to survive then the free market arguments don’t work,

I’m guessing we agree whole heartedly on this issue we are just using different language to say the same thing.
Oh I wasn’t trying to be argumentative with you at all. Just talking.
