And come up with a good estimate for their production capacity vs sales...

You know, I'd rather live in a world where the supermarkets are well stocked with product that anyone can afford, but where it's still accurately labeled as "cider-like product" instead of cider, "honey-like syrup" instead of honey, and "frozen dairy dessert" instead of ice cream.

Because the genuine article isn't always cheap to make, but it shouldn't have to compete with imitation products that are disguising themselves as it with no way for consumers to know the difference.

I used to laugh that Kraft singles were labeled as “cheese product” instead of just, you know, cheese. Now I can appreciate Kraft for their “honesty” (even if it may have been mandated by law). Still don’t buy their products, but I don’t have a negative view of the brand. I’m sure there are things they are actually good at/for.
