    You'd quickly find yourself arguing a weird and difficult position if your defense of capitalism is the quality of the pre-packaged foods. I'm sure a manifold of packagers can take tomatoes and make a version of pasta sauce you don't think is yucky. You would also be equipped with the time, energy, and purchasing power to make your own pasta sauce if you're so particular. You would also be part of a superstructure that doesn't have basic life skills locked behind some sort of gender role.

    I have never felt relief while checking the nutrition info, price/oz, and ingredient list of the 6 pasta sauces for 5 minutes to see which brand is cheap but not a slurry of corn syrup. If I felt confident that the pasta sauce was basically good, it came in mild, regular, spicy, and two avant garde versions I'm sure I'd be spoiled for choice. Even better if the pasta sauce union had a forum where they would take into account what sauce heads think about the state of pasta sauce. This, of course, would be instead of the board of Kellogs and Hersheys (who are probably the same people) that control all food in the US unilaterally deciding that working class families need a subscription to saw dust laden pasta sauce on the Kellogs app in order to summon a muzzled grocery store worker to unlock the locked cabinets for a tip.
