I'm not attacking anything. I'm just stating my opinion. People tend to
like what they are familiar with. Few people bake from scratch and it seems
that few people cook from basic ingredients. Therefore, they acquire food
preferences for things like Twinkies and shun whole wheat bread made from
scratch. You stated that real whipped cream was not acceptable to most
people. I question this as a survey can be skewed by the polling technique
and the way the questions are stated. If you prefer instant potatoes to
home made mashed potatoes then in some ways you have the advantage. There
are times that I wish that when confronted with choices that I would
gravitate towards the inexpensive, easy, and quick alternative.
Unfortunately I always gravitate towards high-end goods and more labor
intensive foods made from basic ingredients. I have nieces that won't touch
anything but McNuggets and fries. They only drink chocolate milk and soda.
I'm sure they are quite likely to choose Cool Whip over real whipped cream
too.
