The ingredient list doesn't bother me all that much. I'm not going
to die from Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate. I'll die from the flour.

It bothers me. There is something in cake mixes that upsets my guts. I
don't know what it is. I have no problems with cakes make from scratch
but cakes from a mix do a number on me. That is probably why I have
never been much of a cake fan.

Many people think that way. The food industry knows this, so they use
all the junk they can to save a cent here and there for themselves.
Junk's cheaper than quality.

Not only cheaper, but they can make it hit all of the taste
"buttons" programmed into us by evolution. The more junk they
sell, the more money they make.

We should all chip in to buy Bruce a special tin-foil hat made
for food only.
Either that or maybe an 'Emperor of the World' golden crown.
