    That’s just capitalism

    You’re describing capitalism

    And pretty much everyone knows that’s how it works, the disagreement is that some (very odd) people think this is a good thing.

      It’s just consumption in general. It predates capitalism (as we know it). For thousands of years humanity has been using beer and wine to cut the fat, sugar, and salt on our palate so we don’t feel too full or sate and can eat more.
