It makes no sense to go for the high end market IMO: the point of "high end" in stuff like this is signaling, NOT nutrition.
The people who buy the highly priced stuff did so because it's rare in the real world, this is what gave it luxury and signal.
Factory made slop is the opposite of luxurious rarity, no matter how high you put the price.
- ehnto 3y agoPeople signal with high prices as well, luxury clothing for example is not rare, or scare, or even all that good. For some the excess spend is the signal, and there has been an aspect of cost signalling in organic grown goods for a long time. It takes time and money to eat only organic or vegan and so there has been a status signal there for ages. That is where I see this fitting. "I have money so I don't need your barbarian meats"
