Apparently, it's news how companies deliberately add extraneous steps to boxed food products so that people feel they're actually cooking, kinda like how people prefer stingy antibiotics for cuts to painless ones. I thought everybody knew that already.

It's still a fascinating insight into the human mind, though : )

On a similar note, fast food companies are currently working to make their food look more raggedy and less perfect so people will think more highly of it. There is something disturbing about that, I must say.
