A YouTube video about why restaurant food is so bland.

Sysco dominates food production.

Efficiency and hyper scale leads to focusing on numbers to the exclusion of qualitative things or externalities.

So it selects for efficiency and scale not "nourishing" or "sustainable."

Efficiency dominates everything else.

The result is a lack of diversity in the system leading to less adaptability, and less resilience.

Hollowed out.
