I guess it depends. There are items for which there's just no margin for cutting quality. Take for example a Hermes bag. While some buyers would probably settle for less quality, the brand depends on the image of a high quality produc

Many (most?) plant based meat substitutes contain methyl cellulose. There are studies like [1] that seem to connect it to intestinal inflammation. [1] https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5410598/
