how sick

I recall reading a while back about something called (hyper-euphemistically) adding value.

What I seem to recall is that if you take a fresh potato or apple or whatever and in some
way process it--thereby changing it from fresh food to something that used to be fresh--
it then becomes possible to make more money from selling it...

In the process the taste is destroyed and the nutritional value is severely diminished.

Yet, this is supposed to be a good thing...

What a sick system capitalism is!
