FWIW IMHO there lies the problem.
Most produces done by an artisan, nearly regardless of the focus itself, often shows both love for the process, the final product, and nearly all link of the chain leading to it. Now... scaling that up seems to inexorably remove any beauty and humanity from it all. The end goal becomes gradually abstracted away. The steps are only there to be optimized, if not ideally removed entirely. Shortcuts are found, optimizations rely on dumping costs on the environment (negative externalities) and justifications are put forward, e.g. it's "the market" that demands it, it's for the shareholders, etc. In practice one is left with an extremely efficient "machine" that cheats it way out of every responsibility possible, that can be copy/pasted anywhere else without any regarding for the local ecosystem, being nature, culture, politics, etc. The relentless growth of such machines create powerful "industry" with lobby groups, ties to power bribing their ways for even more lenience.
Scale and greed leave us with cheap products that are seemingly copies of the original yet devoid all humanity that made them beautiful in the first place.
I agree with you. One other thing that's also very important to note: the immense animal cruelty involved in this industry. We shouldn't hurt animals on such a massive scale. Yet we do and have done for many years.
It's good to that you recognize that cheese is extremely bourgeois.
Down with the bourgeoicheese!
I bet it's hard not be bourgeois while commenting on Lemmy.
