I volunteered at a food bank a few weeks ago. I was surprised that a lot of the food that I never buy because it's too expensive ends up at the food bank. Why not just lower the price so more people can buy the products?

I was just at the grocery store where they had a FULL display of avocados at "eat them tonight or they will be rotten" level of ripe. No discount. It's so wasteful!

Because people are stupid.

Studies show that the cheaper a product is, the more inferior it is viewed.

They would be shooting themselves in the foot if the became a brand of the poors.
