I just realized…

[Xero_Daxter]

When it comes to making a cheeseburger you need so many ingredients to the point where it seems like the cost doesn’t match the labor in getting the ingredients to make the burger.

If you’re in the wild and wanna make a cheeseburger you need…
-To grow wheat to make bread for your buns.
-To raise a cow to get the beef and cheese.
-To raise a chicken to make eggs for mayonnaise.
-To grow tomatoes and for ketchup.
-To grow mustard seeds for mustard.
-To grow onions.
-To grow lettuce.
-To grow cucumbers for pickles
-Make vinegar for the pickles.
-Salt
-And of course a grill and a fire.

Kinda crazy to think about, huh? And that’s just the bare minimal.

I bet farmers make homemade burgers instead of going to a McDonald's.

Usually i don't put salad in it but yeah the buns alot are alot of work, i put meat, mustard, onions, cheese and green peppers in my hamburgers ideally.

Just made me want a nice cheese burger now.
the power of subliminal messaging right there. Just post it up on Off Topic and make someone hungry.

Maybe a little bit of bacon and egg in that burger too.

Then you’ll have to raise a pig as well.

Dang. It’s crazy to imagine how a burger require so many ingredients and America sells them like crazy.

It took about 15 Billion years for vinegar to become the stable chemical that it is today and you waste it on a cheeseburger in 15 minutes.

Also mind-boggling: Because of a confluence of factors, it's cheaper to buy beef shipped from South America than to buy it from the farm down the road from me.

"Economies of scale refer to the cost advantage experienced by a firm when it increases its level of output. The advantage arises due to the inverse relationship between the per-unit fixed cost and the quantity produced."

That plus advancements in transportation that allow people to pay people as little as possible in various places around the world to supply the "west" with relative cheap products. Shipping is the number one reason for these types of products becoming "affordable" for certain nations.

The key is that you don't do all those things *to make a cheeseburger*. Most of them, you just do to have those ingredients around for everything.

Farmer: Mustard? Yeah, made jars of mustard back last month, I can use those on dozens of meals. Cheese? Yep, made a few wheels of that in January. I'll cut off a chunk for this burger. Pickles? Lots left from when we packed those for winter. Etc, etc, etc.



. . . also, a cheeseburger made in the wild/off the grid, likely doesn't have every single ingredient you listed. Like, why do you have mayo, ketchup, and mustard all listed?

Food and labor cost calculations bring back PTSD from my time as a manager in the Hospitality Wars.

I mean for the last bit honestly ketchup isn't that hard to make and i'm sure it's easier to make mayo and mustard than cheese as well.

That's true OP. Good thing we're living in this somewhat functional systematic society, eh?
There are so much benefit we have, opposed to living in solitary cabins whatnot. But of course comes with much amount of responsibilities of each parties.
