When we grocery shop our family has a rule that if someone buys something then they must eat it. There are no reasons to ever go hungry in our home or America.
A traditional supermarket in the USA could contain as many as 60,000 SKU’s (Stock Keeping Unit).
Supermarket Stats
In 1976, Viktor Belenko a Russian fighter pilot flew his advanced MIG-25 super-fighter under the radar defense systems in Japan and defected to the West. It was an military intelligence opportunity and experts from the West quickly disassembled the aircraft to learn all its secrets. Viktor Belenko was granted asylum by President Gerald Ford. When he was brought to the United States he visited a shopping center in Virginia and could not believe people had access to the vast array of consumer goods available. He thought the shopping center was built by the CIA to try to impress him on the quality of life in the United States. It was just a regular suburban shopping center. I hope we always have too many consumer choices.
