No, it really isn't. It's a sensationalist bit of lightweight
nonsense. Food is marked up in restaurants. Stop the presses. This
twit writer didn't realize that it's marked up *from wholesale* not
retail.

I wonder how much the paper she printed out her story on cost. Her ink
cartridge in her printer. How much did she get paid for it. Should
only be a few cents, by her logic, right?

No, it isn't worth an encore because it's egregiously careless and
biased with a wildly unbalanced bit of "reportage." If she really
believes this stuff, she has no business writing for a business
website. If she doesn't and is just trying to stir the pot, she's
incompetent at her job. Actually, either way, she's incompetent. As
are any editorial people who let it run.

Her name is Dayana Yochim. A real "be sure to miss" on any tour of
competent writers.
