Why are there not local competitors to checks notes cook, bag and freeze potatoes at a 10x markup?
Might it be an overly large regulatory burden on starting said competitor?

- ogleopoly 2y agoNo, it's because it's not profitable to do so, and the big players will kill your business. This is also tangentially mentioned in the article... You think you can compete with PotatoCo, which makes billions of dollars, has massive scale, owns several Senators, and which every last potato farm in America is already using? And you want to blame the food regulations that keep people from getting sick and dying? But sure, just go "start a frozen potato company". Why didn't anyone else think of that until Hacker News?
- vitiral 2y ago> owns several Senators This is the regulations I'm talking about. > just go "start a frozen potato company" No thanks, I bet the regulatory burden is absurd
