flour
As I was laying down to sleep last night i began to ponder, as my mind has been these past few nights.
I started to think, why is brown flour more expensive than whole wheat flower, and I think it is the same reason that real diamonds are more expensive than lab created diamonds
When they mine the flour out of the ground, it still has some dirt and natural flavor in it, which is why it is brown and sorta grainy. The white flour comes from when plant material, (usually what people actually think is “wheat”) is exposed to extreme heat and pressure in an industrial process, and the flour is created. This happens in a controlled environment and the dirt and contaminants are kept out.
But why does that make brown flour more expensive? because just like coal and diamonds and oil, “whole wheat” flour is a non-renewable natural resource that the hippies are consuming at a great pace.
Soon there will be no more veins of flour in the deep underground mines, and everyone will have to start eating the artificial white flour again
