You have an apple tree that produces 3 bushels of apples a year.
At a normal rate of consumption you can eat 1 bushel before the apples start rotting. By the time you've consummed half the second bushel the rest are inedible. However if you dry them, can them, make them into cider/apple sauce/whatever, then you can consume all three bushels, albeit at a lower nutritional value compared to fresh, ripe apples.
Processing foods reduces the nutritional value and the taste /demand, thus lowering the price point. It does allow for more efficient use of the produce and reduces wastage. Thus I can buy a bag of potato chips cheaper than I can buy a potato.
Here is the dark secret we are not warned about.

Were lazy as humans. The less we have to do for ourselves the better we think were doing for ourselves.
In my family, we try to keep it as real as possible. We make a lot of our own foods from scratch. We make a lot of the ingredients to make the food from scratch too. Less waste that way which lowers our food bill.
I do realize not everybody wants to or can do the same, but you can for sure strive to take care of yourself and not depend on the chemical companies to make our food.D.Tibbitt and Oldironfan Thank this. -
