Grocery Stores - BUSINESS articles in 1990's said "increasing junk foods and non-food items might fail"

Grocery stores didn't used to have all the "un-wholesome" crap on the shelf they do today, like imported asian spicy oils, the nth power of dorito, canned chili with meat, etc. (( Infact the Campbell's canned soup was only several flavors - and campbell's used to have much better soup before competition arrived !!))

preservatives were THOUGHT TO BE a boon in the 1980's , but NOT LONG after - just a few years reall - they were found to preserve intestines and be actually very un-healthy

DESPITE THAT, many "non-tech" investors decided Triskets profits were good and they needed to GET INTO THE GROCERY ISLE.

Grocery stores became a little bigger, Isles flooded with new refridgerators with frozen foods, new isles for junk food, imported "pre-cooked canned foods", etc

hqdefault.jpg

"Great Taste without the guit." (even junk food in the 1980's was as perverted as the food they are selling today)


But what did financial articles in the late 1980's early 1990's say about the trend?



They warned it was FALLIBLE. That despite Triskets profits - there wasn't room in the industry for "allot of new players getting in"

DO WE SEE TODAY THE BAD EFFECTS? that the "new junk food" isle is battling to stay in (using foodstamps for God's sake) while the wholesome foods are taking a hit (less variety of fresh vegetables and fresher quality canned foods - and SMALLER CANS higher prices). FROZEN FOODS which, when they are "bought out", aren't being replaced - and when they are - being replace with ever less wholesome "cheaps ass junk frozen food"

HAS BUSINESS TRYING TO GET INTO GROCERY PROFITS NOT ONLY FAILED - BUT ATACKED THE WHOLESOME FOOD MARKET TOO?

there is little good news

* eggs without yolks for those avoiding high cholesterol - good

* bad: allot more NON-FRESH meats

the packaged meats have: more preseratives, more salt, often SUGAR (causes diabetes terrible for your health and doesn't help prevent bacteria in meat), and "flavoring" we KNOW obama never checked for safety after "de-regulation" we just hope for change

* sugar cereals - there were only basic wholesome cereals in the 1980's and very few sugar cereals

* many wholesome brands closed down (ie, some BRAN products that didn't have sugar)

* today - even the "non-kid cereals" have SIGNIFICANT diabetic causing amounts of sugar

ie, even rice-chex and rice cereals have ALLOT OF SURGAR

democrats (due to connections with south america) have pumped every product with sugar - including KETSUP which never used to have sugar (even BBQ sauce didn't used to have sugar unless it said "molassass" on the front)

The financial articles said "while Triskets makes decent but not allot of money, there isn't room for a cracker war - they would all end up on welfare as a result"

"there isn't room for filling the shelves with pre-prepared foods and food wars"

(the articles i read came BEFORE the freezer wars - installing several very large freezers and pre-prepared products in boxes - which are well known to DOCTORS articles after they started becoming popular to be non-sustainable - that your health will fall you'll die young if you eat most frozen foods in that isle, and that even boring frozen vegetables should be something one does not use as a substitute for FRESH vegatables. your intestines are NOT meant for bullshit or chemicals - not at all actually)

"there isn't room for filling the shelves with pre-prepared foods and food wars"

I would guess the same naysayers would strongly say that "frozen foods are not only un-healthy but risky". They require ALLOT of money to keep on the shelf (freezers), to ship (freezer trucks), and still have to be thrown out about a year after they've been put on the shelf - they still go bad. And that doesn't include some stores CONTINUAL FREEZER FAILURES (ie, Safeway, where illegal aliens make sure there are always failures so they can $$$$ work on them and so democrats get $$$ money for those frozen foods they invested $$$$ in)

I think the businessment who were naysayers for "the junk product wars in grocery stores" would HAVE BEEN APPAULED, financially, at "several rows of freezers for junk food"

AND I SUSPECT BILL CLINTON DEMOCRATS ARE BEHIND THOSE PRODUCTS, AND THAT THEY ARE ALL GETTIN PPP MONEY

I THINK THEY FAILED AND DEMOCRATS $$TAX$$ ARE USING CONGRESS TO BAIL THEMSELVES OUT

IT'S WELL KNOWN TO SCIENCE THAT USING CHEMICALS, EATING JUNK FOOD, DOES CAUSE DEPRESSION and intestinal disorders

it's no surprise in the late 1990's there was a "rise in depression medication prescriptions". people didn't listen to the articles that said

"you cannot live on junk food or sugar"

they didn't listen

But it was well know during Bill Clinton in the business world that democrats were rusing into the grocery junk business.


AND DEMOCRATS DO EVERYTHING CORRUPTLY.

I WOULD GUESS THERE ARE TOO MANY PRODUCTS, POOR PROFITS (we got china and india and mexico food imports competing), AND ALLOT OF BAILOUTS - that democrats entered the "food excuse - food bailouts" industry as well as the "too big to fail" industry and "BIG TECH BIG MEDIA"

the big question is - how Republicans kept loosing lawsuits against Democrats and law really was the PROBLEM. it was massivly abused during Bill Clinton to "give #democrats whatever they desired"

Is the freezer isle as profitable as they said. Are people buying allot of frozen foods* Or is there a big Democrat black hole blocking media from reporting on freezer isle profit losses? Like the 1990's business men warned their might be?

Ajinomoto foods makes CHIMICHANGA burritos (very unhealthy kind)

the fact is Japan has poor farming and imports foods - they don't make foods

it became JAPAN'S objective to #own usa foods so they could funnel some of the foods to japan WITHOUT BUYING THEM

This "burrito maker" who's NEVER EVER MADE A BURRITO, is claiming increasing profits since it began - exactly after BILL CLINTON got in office

BUT I KNOW - I KNOW FOR SURE - FROZEN BURRITOS SALES ARE DOWN while they are claiming record high stock prices (stock prices aren't profits)


IT'S NO SURPRISE THE INDUSTRY IS WHOLEY CRIMINAL, FROM MY POINT OF VIEW

Are canned vegatibles not fresh farm food? Well I didn't mean to imply that but it's harder to tell these days.

In the 1980's the shelf life was less, they started adding preservatives, then started removing them, and really you have to know the date delivered and additives to know if it's fresh.

the industry avoided canning because it costs more than fresh, but some products still went to market canned

What if you democrat use the excuse that "junk food products utilize a resource otherwise unused". Infact that's been used in an investigation in the news at some time in the past.

IT'S NOT TRUE, since food waste is used for plastics and soil replenishment

IT'S NOT TRUE because IT WOULD BE A POOR INDUSTRY subsidized - it wouldn't be profitable to "widely increase the condiment market" during bad times - so who ran it would need to be THE GOVERNMENT running a "land utilization program"

THERE ARE BIG CORRUPTIONS going on

COSTS: heating and airconditioning LARGER STORES (oil&gas) and stocking (more employee), big costs: it's not just the added store size. to "sell something at a profit" (or minimal losses) you can't just say "because it uses a cheap source we can build an infrustructure around it to sell it". doesn't work that way. bills have to be paid

and healthy food - that industry is to keep us alive. losses (to be made by burning extra oil not paid for) are accepted as what we all do for survival. junk food in freezers RUN BY DEMOCRATS shouldn't be in that list.

they contain: sugar water flour tiny amounts of tomato spices and (*D&(#chemicals. AND it costs$$$ to freeze. so how did they "get there" in the frozen aisle. corruption is how.

All the latest food science advancements are in lab produced food that resembles and tastes like real meat and veggies. But they are produced by lab engineered cells developed from the cells of the animal or plant. “Whole foods” will no longer exist in a few years, because they have too large of a carbon footprint.

HERE'S ANOTHER ASIAN INVASION FACTOR

* THEY OWN PROFIT ON SALE

* USA OWN COST OF KEEPING PRODUCTS IN FREEZER (BIG LOSSES)

So, if they put a little pan in a box with is flavored salt water and some idiot buys it on food stamps; they are WAY ahead.

* They didn't pay for canning or boxing hardly

* they marked up cheap soup

So you can say, ok pre-prepared meats frozen "might last longer" but the canned people say "no, not really". You can say cheaper packaging (but not recyclable) maybe true.

The history of frozen vegatables is ACTUALLY DIFFERENT from the above.

I remember when there were articles on "if frozen vegetables should exist", being that it damaged vegetables, wasted electricity (and store cost), and canning was just as good. The articles pretty much said they were in the store as a last resort (ie, fresh isle out of food), not to be bought or consumed regularly - that they didn't actually have the supply for "everyone to eat them regularly" anyway.

At the time it was debated frozen vegetables were in small paper boxes not large plastic bags - to put things into perspective.

In the BOOM of the refrigeration isle and "Gourmet Giant" (near politician homes) - frozen vegetables can in "BIG BAGS", so did everything. Frozen dinners - specifically items like "frozen filled ravioli" really took off.

You don't see people grabbing whatever they desire out of the frozen isle like you did during Bill Clinton. And the isle is all "small stuff" where before it was "BULK BAGS".

* to use a freezer you need EXTRA PROFIT to cover cost

* you would normally only do that for ice-cream , a product that must stay frozen

* you can argue "hungry man" has a case for freezing "kept a long time by consumer before eaten" , "store rarely sells" , is a case for freezing

AH - but the cost of that is really big. They didn't "INVENT" the very costly freezer isles to put in food that DON'T MOVE and "can't be marked up any more than it is" to cover costs. That didn't happen.

DOESN'T HAPPEN UNLESS DEMOCRATS ARE CLAIMING PROFITS ON LOSSES, ACTUALLY, illegally

FOR MILLENIALS:

* there's weren't hardly freezer isles in the 1980's. Just one (half?) row maybe, with frozen juice ice cream and frozen spinach. that's all.

* the isle boomed during Slick Bill Clinton days, costing stores/consumers and benefitting "hawks" who got longer shelf life and SKIPPED ON PACKAGING COSTS

* grocery stores did NOT immediately put them in. there was competition one isle added at a time. then - LIKELY DUE TO CORRUPTION - all stores always added allot of freezers DESPITE THE TREND WAS OVER. before the trend stores were resisting installing freeers

that's what you should know

stores don't and didn't "jump into buying freezers". they're damn expensive compared to the %1 meager sales on now "hardly popular" isle.

if i were an Iranian with a large pile of copper invested in FB i would hope FB eventually built a data center in Iran - might demand it

however i'd never hope that USA, EU, other government would be allowed to "continually sue FB for cash" and enter Grant program back-door agreements

yet that is how any company today, say General Electric, (perhaps EBAY also) began and survives

there are precious few companies that aren't "on the take"

investors during Bill Clinton strugged to find investments that "weren't already totally locked down by big companies". TV was #owned. grocery was #owned. electric companies were #owned. Tech was #owned. They knew home consumers had a "MONEY STREAM" (popular term then) of spending pay checks and struggled to get in on something. Many democrats invested in JUNK FOOD AND FROZEN FOOD - causing supermarkets in USA to have "multiple isles of freezers" which before they did not.

tech is no different. so you have to ask twice when you see tech "win big" when the big players were already prevailing on the field before they entered. IBM was leading in the 60's-2000's so you have to ask how one american could ever come out ahead

----------------------------------

So you see Triskets was a business phenomenon.

But that in the 1990's DEMOCRATS clinton associates were doing A MAD SCRAMBLE to find things to invest in that BIG BUSINESS hadn't already #owned that had a "money stream" tied to it.

investors during Bill Clinton strugged to find investments that "weren't already totally locked down by big companies"

the news back then was that, risky tech investments aside (which were locked down by powerful investors if not terrorists with more power than people knew of)

"you had to be in on the money stream - things people grabbed on a regular basis. energy company. tech. and grocery"

it's why they bumb rushed the grocery industry. there was no where else to run or hide. HOWEVER I'M SAYING that was the ECONOMIC THEORY of the day - that they rushed under the umbrella for that

the reality might be different. it could be japan and others were arranging huge market scams (where profit loosers would turn up magic profits and rising stock prices) and economists didn't know what was going to hit them.

the hyper focus of the Clinton 90's on "money stream economic"

Kinda a PC play on paying off credit cards as "theory" ??. IT WASN'T TRUE. It was crackpot microsoft in government theory.

WE SEE RUSSIAN CHINA INVESTMENT IN MINING, PIPE, AND OTHER non-money stream investments paid very well and are still not over-invested.

people who DID NOT rush to "money stream" investments did very well infact

the "money stream" thought was that ...

you wanted to be wherever consumers had to keep paying (electric, utility - but these were locked down already invested #owned, real estate), PC streaming services (cable internet), food service, anything consumers would put on credit cards and pay in a WEEKLY MONTHYLY BASIS, that if you were in the realm of selling things that consumers paid monthly on cards - that you could "get in on the market". whereas other markets, mining factory - you couldn't get in on since (economoic factors - the money required to get in and challenge the super rich or well established "more fair" equalized markets)

i'm just trying to repeat rapidly allot of articles from the 1990's

JAPAN in the 1980's 1990's during Bill Clinton had $800 watermelons.

I don't think USA companies were doing it I think Japan merchants were doing it.

ANYWAY - i said japan didn't have allot of farming had growing (falling off island) population so "GOT INTO GROCERY"

the above price on fruit helps explain how Japanese protests pushed lawmakers into "finding out why fruit prices were so high". (they were high due to corrupt japan merchants i will say, not USA)

if you paid $800 so you kids could taste melon for the first time you _______

on the other hand? at the same time Japan was charging USA $800 per memory module


but one shouldn't forget japan came to own controlling shares in large parts of the industry - everything except production - where they money handling is
